Fervid.

Stay?

As the lily white daffodils fell at my feet

I watched as you became one with the earth

Every chakra broke open

Revealing your inner torment

Your body crimpled in my hands

And went from hot and heavy

To cold and vibrating

I watched your last breath pale the frosty air

Your hair was to become flours

Your feet to become worm food

You skeleton provided nutrients

All this for mother earth

You left me the most important thing to you

Something no one else could have or hold

For richer or poorer, I owned your heart

And you mine

Even when your body left this planetary orbit

And you had turned to rust

Your beauty still remained in flowers and trees

And I would always remain your sweet pea

I only wish, how I wish, you stayed with me

Background Story:

Basically about a guy whose partner dies and he's left pining after them. I really wanted to go back into a sadder side of love. I feel like this is similar to my last poem. No rhyming but it doesn't need to rhyme to be poetry. I'm enjoying exploring different ways of writing poetry. Hopefully the lack of rhyming lately hasn't disappointed anyone.

The song was chosen because it matched the feelings in this poem.

Hope none of you leave your lover.
