Death Dream
When I do sleep, I wake to a freshly brewed cup of pain,
I dream of you, aching to forget, still misery remains.
A final breath of love, fading away from sudden depart,
His exhaled soul left mine spoiled with a rancid heart.
Never ceasing, the punishing wind recites whispers of his name,
This sadistic storm circulates my one regret that remains.
Perhaps a prediction could have prevented our days as few.
And so, a passing penitence persists-I wasn't there to save you.
Now, all I can do is inscribe your name in the bay,
Fusing my tears with the tide as you gently wash away,
Like a tailored dress, a faithful fit, altering me for eternity,
Replaced your absence, a gaping void sits in for serenity.
No matter how many tears I shed on your behalf,
Will ever bring back the smile in your sparkling laugh.
Our bond, was as soon as gone, each day and the next i dread,
Anemic allegiance, devotion deficiency, lack of a love once fed.
Yearning for a spell of ease from his manifesting place,
Just one touch from his lips or the warmness from his face.
Parched passion is dispersed with ashes out to the deep blue,
Like a butterfly dipped in water, my wings are lifeless without you.
