Sigh
The earth took back a part of herself today
It tore you from my heart and from my side
Particles of dust yes
Yet you were more
The atmosphere became thicker today
My lungs gasping
I find it difficult to breathe
Longing to suffocate yet I sustain
I question my existence
Part must be whole I say
Soon it shall be my dust
Torn asunder What then will I be
Fight against time
Struggle beat after beat
Hold on to hope
Til it too has gone
