Transient;
we linked our fingers and became airborne.
Our noses tingled with the frost of Outer Space,
our toes tickled the tops of cirro-stratus levity.
Blinking through icy eyelashes, we could finally See.
We were alive.
Ethereal Poison;
The air has become so cold.
Not cold like freezing winds, cold like empty words
spoken softly. Cold like
your obsession to all the things that hurt.
I'm losing you to apathy.
Angry Harbinger; I refused to believe.
I tell you this now,
I think of you once an hour,
twenty-four times a day,
and constantly in my sleep.
Do you even remember the
sound of my voice?
Sleeping Beauty; I thought
I could wake you... if I only
kissed you one last time,
took that poison for myself.
I thought I could revive you.
I thought I could grab your hand
before you jumped.
I thought I could breathe some life into those
blue eyes I once loved so much.
I was wrong.
I won't forget the green rocks or the
beach or all those times we danced or
that first day we linked our hands
and walked-danced-flew into the sky.
(And you still show up
in every single one of my dreams.)
Author notes
"I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true, Don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you, Don't jump
Don't let memories go Of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please don't jump,
Don't jump!
I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true
Don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you
Don't jump
Don't let memories go
Of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please don't jump
Don't jump
And if all that can't hold you back
I'll jump for you"

this is heartbreaking or maybe the right word if there is one.. heart wrenching, aching. losing a friend no matter what the circumstances are, is a very hard thing to live with and without. one that means so much they literally are on your mind 24/7 .. but but sometimes we need to let them go for them to realize just exactly what they had and yes what they've lost. it doesn't happen right off the bat, sometimes it can take years. not exactly what one would hope for. I guess what matters in the end of it all is this .. when she realizes her mistake are you going to be there in the end when she is ready to come back? and are you prepared in every possible way one can think of if she doesn't?
friends come and go true, so very true.. the ones that leave an impression on our hearts, the ones that we'll always remember are the ones that we should be happy that we had that moment with no matter how long or short are time was with them.
Hugs
