14 years

like the ocean needs the shore

like we seek shade when it’s torrid

i miss you

 

for years we switched roles

i was now mothering you

it felt unnatural

too soon the sunset of your soul

was easy to see

i listened to your breathing slow

searching for the way to leave me

my heart still saw a glimmer of hope

even when I knew it had flown

suddenly your green eyes danced no more

the stars were a bit dimmer

 

i didn’t realize then

as i walked the long hallway

nothing would never be the same

i still miss you

no doubt i always will

tot ziens!
