Do NOT read if you don't want to hear any TSFT spoilers!! I wrote this when I was in a sad post-Kartik-trauma mood. Review and tell me what you think of it! I own NOTHING!!
I Think I Hear It Whisper My Name
It seems like just yesterday that you held my hand
And guided me past the rough shores of life.
But now that you're gone, I can't understand
How living can be such a cold, cruel knife.
How can I move on when you lie there cold?
How do I breathe when my soul has all but died?
How do I smile and do as I'm told?
When you who believed in me have been ripped from my side?
I see you sometimes at night in my dreams.
We walk in each other's, you know.
Yet I cannot help but wonder if those visions are what they seem.
Are you really there? I'd like to think so.
You stood by me to the bitter end.
You took the fate that should have been mine.
You were then my lover, but always my friend.
And friends are together for all of time.
I have contemplated ending this, my cursed existence.
Yet I know you died so that I might live.
And so I hold onto this life with a new resilience,
For I remember you gave to me all that you had to give.
Now I live each day with a purpose in me.
I resolve that your sacrifice will not have been in vain.
But when the wind blows through the leaves of that lonely tree,
Sometimes I think I hear it whisper my name.
So, was it touching at all? Any sadness? I still miss Kartik, so I wrote this poem in his memory. I am sniffling now, so please review and make me feel better!
