I sat beside you,
Watched you breathe
Holding your hand,
Waiting for you
To come back to me.
Each flutter of
Your beautiful eyes
Giving me new hope.
But then the sky
Stole you from me.
You spread your wings
And flew away,
Into the stars
Without so much
As a wave
Goodbye.
Your body was
Taken by the earth.
Ashes to ashes...
Your smile,
Your laugh,
Your love,
Extinguished.
Dust to dust.
They told me,
Your love would
Live on.
They told me,
You would watch me
From a better place.
But earth is no heaven
Without you.
I visit you still.
Plant flowers in spring,
Talk softly in summer,
Clear leaves in autumn,
Light candles in winter.
Wait to join you,
To be by your side,
Always.
They told me
To move on.
But I don't know
How to feel anything
Except this void.
Slowly swallowing me,
Erasing me.
Silently fading.
At night I sit.
Memories and tears,
In the darkness.
I reach out,
But the sky
Will not take me.
My wings
Will not grow.
The moon's glow,
Lights my path
As I climb.
It dances over
The crashing waves,
As I stand.
But I am oblivious,
As I fall.
And in that moment,
In my last breath,
The wind catches
In my wings.
I close my eyes,
And finally
I know what it is
To fly.
