You Left Me

Why have you left me, staring into your empty eyes

You were taken from me, forcefully yet silently, no screams

You said it didn't hurt, when I tried to take your pain

I asked you not to leave, I begged you

You said it was ok, it was perfect

You were dying in my arms, your first love

The one you would always love

You held my gaze, determined

You asked me to tell your father something

But then you heaved a breath

And didn't breathe again

Your hand fell to the ground, with graceful finality

I heard Lydia's scream, just minutes ago

Knew it was over

But still held you to me, clutched you to my heart

Trying to get yours to beat again

Listening to my sobs consume me

Heard Argent run to the gate, and stop dead

Mouth open in disbelief, in shock, in anger

Saw him turn away, unable to face her

His family was gone, decimated

It was all my fault, I had killed them all, one by one

And now, it was her turn, my huntress, gone forever

My anchor, my love, my warrior-in-arms, my pack mate

Everyone has lost someone tonight

A friend, a lover, a hunter, a daughter, a goddess

My goddess is gone
