Soul

It's basically about being affect by someone's death....someone you were really close to.

I thought I was ready and prepared like you were,

but I never knew it’d hurt so much.

This kind of pain,

you can't ever be ready for.

And when it comes,

it comes in waves.

Missing you comes in waves.

And unfortunately,

sometimes,

I forget how to swim.

My bones ache

while my heart breaks,

and the tears stream down my face.

That image I can’t erase.

I have love left over, 

with no place to go. 

I guess that’s what this is, 

love with no home anymore. 

And closure doesn’t exist because when you love someone so, 

You just can't let go. 

What can’t be said,

will be wept,

and while caused by pain the tears are beauty, 

because I loved you so greatly.

If you get a chance, 

to look down on me, 

I hope you know I miss you.

My one wish,

if I had one,

would be just to hear your voice one more time.

And about time, 

time doesn’t do anything, 

death changes everything.

And it’s okay to cry, 

it’s not weakness,

it’s beauty from love and it’s falling from your eyes, 

to let that part of your soul go.

Thank you so much!

very deeply written
sometimes i don't think we ever get over losing someone

but like with anything
at least one can write about it
