My Death from Solitude
It’s hard to believe
I let you go so easily
I’ve cried my nights to sleep
Trying to rid you
But not being able to.
There’s something about you babe;
That makes my heart turn inside…
Your voice that I heard from the other line soothed me from my soul to my tender soft skin…
A feeling of serenity embodied me…
It’s hard to believe I let you go so easily
I’ve cried my nights to sleep
Still wanting you by my side…
I think I might have died…
It comes to me now
The long nights prior to my death…
Insomnia overtook me…
Circles gouged my eyes
Making them red roses
And black charcoal…
My limp body ached…
I trembled and was gaunt from starvation and misery
When our affection forsook my soul…
I crawled up in a ball …
In the corner of my room…
Slowly… death came upon me.
Oh, how excruciatingly painful it was…
The enduring process of it all took days and days…
You weren’t there next to me
And I couldn’t stand to be in this world any longer…
So I died…
You weren’t by my side.
It’s hard to believe
I let you go so easily
I died with you far from me…
Now I watch you from the misty world above
Still wanting you by my side…
Still wanting you to be mine…
Until the end of time.

If you love someone but can't. You die from being apart.
