I lay dead on my wings, broken,scattered, askew.
The only thing I wanted was to be made anew.
Finally, I saw you.
Your face lit up like a star.
Even from where I was, I saw you standing afar.
Your smile it coaxed,
Along with eyes that teased and joked.
Your voice was confident yet calm.
Was I foolish to be so drawn?
If I remember nothing else, I remember that.
With you I had no fear, there was only joy and laughter.
With you I was myself, I never had to wear the mask of someone else.
With you I never thought I'd be crushed in whole all in one.
Was I foolish not to know our time was done?
You had to go, to where I don't know.
From your face as you left, I got a small smile.
From my heart, I heard two beats, each with a different style.
From the cold, I exhale a foggy thin lace.
From you I got my three days of grace.

I wrote this because I couldn't get someone of my mind. I was hoping this would help... But I'm starting to think this only made it worse.
