And oh damn
Just as we
Started the news
Came of goodbyes
But they weren’t
Ours they belong
To someone else
Apart we are
But now closer
Than together mourning
Your painful loss
I’m still here
Right here where
You left me
Say your goodbyes
Then come back
To your hello
The hardest goodbyes
Are those unsaid
Like being underwater
You never had
The chance because
He left too
Soon let your
Heart bleed now
For the dead
Can hear the
Souls silent weeping
And today you’re
Farther away than
Far heading west
Like the sun
Taking your warm
Glow with you
Moored here I
Call but you’re
On a journey
Of good byes
Say them and
Return to me
Like spring after
The winters deadness
I wish
I wish that
I could carry
Away your pain
I wish
I wish I
Could tell you
That it’s okay
It’ll be better
I wish
I wish that
I was the
One for you
I was the
One that you
Picked rather than
Settled for and
I wish
I wish that
I’d never written
This for you
I wish
I wish that
My dear boy
Your heart is
Breaking by loss
Everything begins and
Everything ends we
Often don’t splash
In the puddle
Of life thinking
That rain comes
But when it
Doesn’t and life
Dries up we
Cry grieve now
Knowing that love
Will fill your
Puddle and once
Again soon you’ll
Splash being silly
