78 - Perhaps it is the greatest grief, after all

by Markante Korenwolf

full title: "Perhaps it is the greatest grief, after all, to be left on earth when the other is gone". Written because I read The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller and it broke my heart. The title is a quote from the book.

We were separate bodies - in life
But we always breathed as one
His heart had become the reason
blood coursed through my veins
Let us be one body, one soul - in death
Oh, how I wish for us to be one, indefinitely
