goodbye my lover.

catefrances

my heart cries out
for one last kiss
to feel your breath on my cheek
where tears dry now
feeling those
lets me know
that i'm alive
i never got to say goodbye
you left while i was gone
and when i came back to the house
it was me that was alone
i tried to call
you wouldn't talk
perhaps they wouldn't let you
but never once
did i ever stop
my heart
binding our love
you yelled
you screamed
you kicked your legs
you begged
me not to go
i thought it best
for both our souls
i had to let you go
i'd not the strength
to deal anymore
with what you put us through
and you'd not the strength
to live in this world
into which you were thrown
so one last kiss
my golden boy
a lock of hair i save
i kissed you on the forehead
and told you to behave
i kissed your lips
and held your hand
so cold
within my warmth
a tear rolled down my cheek
i touched it to my face
i placed my fingers on your lips
my salty tears to taste
i'll now go from by your side
and think of you each day
remember when you spoke to me
the third tuesday in may
you asked me
if i'd love you forever
i looked at you
said yes
and i will
until my dying day
for you
yours here today.
