*A single thought


A single thought,
an escape from the mind –
from this world,
from this pain.
A little break
from it all.

Touching your thin arms,
your yellow cheeks.
Clinging to your words
that are slowly ebbing away.

You were so full of words once –
a never ending stream of words
flowing to me.

My heart bursts of pain
and longing.

A pain
beyond everything I felt before.

A longing,
unfulfilled and raw.

Like the most beautiful flower
your body is withering away –
releasing your soul
back into eternity.
