In mornings’ hushed embrace I rise,
Yet in that sleep’s sweet reverie,
Recollection strikes, my heart’s demise,
A pin cushion it becomes, you see.
Your existence, a sentiment of old,
Locked in memories, a fleeting dawn,
Gone now, your warmth, a tale untold,
In Hades’ grip, my heart’s withdrawn.
Tears cascade like a river’s crest,
A wave of grief, my soul does bind,
How can this be, a cruel jest,
In midst of retribution’s grind?
A second chance to mend lost time,
Slips through fingers, as breath takes flight,
You grow still, as church bells chime,
Coldness creeps, extinguishing light.
Why now, I ask, a voice unheard,
In silence, questions drift, they sway,
Clouds of darkness, like a caged bird,
On winter’s night, their shadows play.
Grief, my constant companion, so near,
Do you wake each day by my side?
Does melancholy paint every tear?
Is this how forever shall we ride?
Surreal it seems, a haunting ghost,
Your absence aches, like piercing thorn,
I dial your number, a mournful boast,
Voicemail echoes, where you were born.
Cancer, foul fiend, I curse your name,
For the havoc you’ve wreaked, the pain you’ve sown,
Cold as ice, your touch, your aim,
Taking balance, leaving me alone.
An empty swing, it sways and creaks,
Like stars abandoned on a frigid night,
Vivid memories, my heart seeks,
In your absence, I find no respite.
Visit my dreams, my cherished one,
Speak to me from realms afar,
Let me feel your warmth, like morning sun,
Assure me that you’re never far.
Embrace me, let our souls entwine,
One last time, before you go,
Whisper that everything will be fine,
Then fade away, as morning’s glow.
Oh, how I long for that final touch,
To hear your voice, to see your smile,
In dreams, let love’s essence clutch,
Relieving grief, if just a while.
Until that moment, I’ll hold you tight,
In memories’ embrace, I’ll find my way,
Grief, my companion through day and night,
Together we’ll tread, come what may.
