I lie down, silent

Missing you

Bad days pass

Can't see through my tears

I'm lost

Suddenly aware of all that is going on

I'm trying to find my way

You

You left me

Abandoned me

For fear that you might hurt me

I need you

You are mine

Why did you leave

The angry thoughts

Like a swarm of bees

In my head

Can't breathe

The darkness

Surrounds me

The light

Breaks through

Eats away at the darkness

Devoured

Takes me

To a happy place

I saw you

Angelic

Crazy love

Suffocates me

You run

I follow

We meet

And hug

I ask "Why"

You say "It was time"

I don't know

How to speak

For a moment

Can't breathe

But then I see him

He's angelic

And white

Like snow

Freshly fallen

On the ground

My knees tremble

The power of the King radiates around me

I look up and he put out his hands

Helping

Loving

The scars

Beautiful

He suffered

Reminds me of things

For me

Broken.
