Sad Poems

~The garden in the sky~

If these walls could talk, I'm sure they would have much story to tell

They would go into detail of our love, that never seemed to dwell.

I remember your cute mannerisms, how you would always hiccup before you cried,

I remember how you would run around the corridors, down the halls you would always slide

I remember how you would love to sit in the garden, motioning me to join you

and how you loved the way the petals swept off the stone when the breeze blew.

I remember your perfume that you used to wear, to me it deals a heavy heft

Because the aroma still fills this house, as if you never even left

I can't help but let the pain take over as I visit your grave each day

But I'll go on for you, because I know this is what you'd say.

You'd say "You need to keep going, even if it's without me,

you need to live each day to the fullest, and be the best person you can be

because you only live once, and you don't want to waste it

because we will see each other again in the stars, and at the garden we will sit."
