Ill-timed leaves crumble beneath my feet.
The warm breeze tickling my bare back;
I feel you there enveloping my vacant core.
Lost am I since your untimely passing,
I am left to love your immortal ghost.
Wishing gentle touch still lingered there,
once calming my trembling soul.
Bottomless blue eyes and kind spirited smile,
still impressing upon my embittered heart.
My ghost still beautiful and loving me.
Sitting on the edge of insanity I see you there,
clouding my dreams of what is real and not.
Unbearable hurt sneaking up to conquer me.
Past slipping beneath me as I try to hold on,
piercing my spirit is lost to another world.
Trying hard to seize your soothing words,
long ago spoken softly in my ear.
Spiraling without direction I need them now.
Fires ablaze within the deep chasm engulf me;
you are out of reach no longer my savior.
Dark and perilous are my poisoned secrets.
Held close and tightly to your warm chest;
promises of never abandoning broken.
Early to the grave you fell carrying my pain,
our shattered pieces falling to the earth.
My ghost eludes me as I reach for him.
Touch of his hand is wind blowing through.
Voice grows fainter as brutal days pass.
How I long to be one with him in his world.
This love is killing me.
