I lost you

Let me be the first to go.

An impression
is all that remains
of where you once were,
sheets the same
as you left them
as I haven't slept
since you left me.

I pray to a god
that I don't believe in
for you to return,
but you will never
be in my bed
or in my arms again.

Tears roll down
and they coalesce
with all the rest
as we watch
you being lowered
and I realize
that the hole
is your bed now
and the silk
is where your
impression will lie

without me
until I find the courage
to join you
in the dark.

such a sad but beautiful piece my fav kind, to lose someone who means the world to you to death, to know how final that is, to have to go on without them, is the hardest thing I can imagine having to go through other than losing a child . you ave expressed so well the desire to go with.

"I pray to a god

for you to return,
but you will never
be in my bed
or in my arms again." Very relatable and a good point. Nice poem. I like it.

Second stanza rips from The Script: Break Even.
First stanza is pretty stellar.

Epic last few lines.

What is Break Even?

Lol. It's a song. By THe Script. They beat you to the idea and exact phrasing of your second stanza... I like your version better though :)
