Battle in Time

Missing image

Battle in Time

 

Today I thought about you

as every day before

Your memory lives within me

and will forever more.

It's now been two years passing

since fate took you away

and I'm still missing you

as I think of you today.

Times been slow and painful

smiles far and few

no longer found is me

for I died that day with you.

Minutes turn to hours

and days turn into years

a river flowing freely

cried with silent tears.

Sometimes I think I see you

shadows in the rain

teasing me with laughter

calling out my name.

Reality, you cruel, mean bitch

why do you hold me so?

A prisoner in time

why won't you let me go?

Ah, yet all things end

and time will find

eternal peace

shall soon be mine.

    Wow...That is truly depressing...Even for 4:07 in the morning... ...Powerful write...I can't really say I hope you can move on...Because I have letting go issues...MAJOR issues...I just know how much it hurts...And how my I want to stay in my room and cry forever whenever I feel like that. It may sound silly, but when I lost my only pet, my cat Oreo...It really hit hard...We had to put her to sleep because she had kidney disease. I held her as the vet pushed the needle into her...I guess it was really tramatic for me...I'm getting kinda teary-eyed just talking about it. And she died in 2001...
