Confronted with a sight
O so weak and frail
I hold the urge
But my smile seems to bail.

You cover up the truth
That tears me apart.
Your pained smile
shoots a bullet to my heart.

Your pale body gives me a hug
Not knowing it's none other
than an addictive drug.

I fear the unnecessary emptiness
Among my complicated emotions
In the midst of the life-or-death game
commotions.

. . .

The forced smile you tried so hard to keep,
The heavy bloodshot eyes that looked for me...
Are all gone
Now I am left with no one to rely on.

A part of my life
And the only one who can cure my pain,
Has vanished
With no other trace than vain.

My heart that is drunk on your scent
Reminds me of all the time we hadn't spent
Regret is strong and deep
But it's something I'll have to keep.

Where are you now to hold me tight?
Where are you now to keep me warm without a fright?
Your love is what kept me going
Without it I may just be drowning.

I want to breath
Why is it that my breath is taken away?
I want to wake up from this nightmare
Why is it that I'm confined in here?

Listen to my heart beat,
it's calling on its own
In this pitch black darkness
Memories of you shine so bright
Like stars would glitter at mid night

. . .

A sad smile spreads across my face
Realising now that you're at a much better place.



Authors Note

I wrote this when I was in year 8/9? Meaning I would've been 13ish so please don't mind the trashiness.

This was basically an assignment, and my depressed ass wrote about the thought and emotional process behind each stage of a death, more so between a child and his/her mother/father.
