Mourning Skies

A Saviour

That day,

That day I found you

With the trail of blood

Leading to your bedroom

And that note,

That fucking note,

That told me 'I'm sorry'

For gods sake don't be sorry for that

Be sorry that you left me in such a way,

Be sorry that I had to hold you

And watch the life slip from your eyes

And blood pool at your feet

Dripping from the gash in both wrists

I carried you to the living room

Convulsing in fear

And as my tears fell to your pale cheeks

Your shaking hand caressed mine,

And at that whispered "why?"

But your eyes rolled back to your head

As if searching for a reason

But there can't be a reason,

Not for this.

My head dipped back

And I let out a cry

A cry that sounded like a beast

Caught in a trap

It's heart pierced, writhing in pain.

And, my god, that was me.

Choking on my own tears.

But I knew that you died

In my arms

And you were loved

During your final moments
