Cold Gold

Cold blue hands lay

on the cold metal slab today

Last breath taken

a beautiful life foresaken

A smile that once lived in my eyes

now only lives in my mind

Laid to rest for eternity

those words are f*****g killing me

The cold March winds would mark another year old

reminding me that we eventually lose all that's gold

The faith I never had before

is all that keeps my blood off the floor

So I swear I'll change my ways

so I can meet you at the gates

when I reach my end of days

Raw, emotional heartfelt expression! Powerful!
The pain/hurt is honoured with real integrity and is surprisingly gentle.
I love your lines 'The faith I never had before...' that seeps into me.
You come full circle almost as you close a hope to hold on to. Exceptional piece. Starz x

Thanks starz! I get the itch that misses her so much that all I can do is write it away.

It truly does. Keeps them alive even if it's only through your pain.

It's harder than it seems ... I literally have to make myself feel most of the time
