Dear Bird Who Could Fly Without Wings

The day I had pushed away and buried
Hidden away in the depths internally, I couldn’t hide that
I wish you were for eternity
Inevitable, and unforgiving
A swollen heart unready to let go
Life had said too soon that 
Your last breath was overdue
I had watched you slip through my hands as
The ocean mourned through my eyes, death to withstand
Frailty soon to be over lament, crushed entirety 
Where am I to find you, you cease to exist entirely 
To think about the day, you hadn't had a choice to speak
Death of life, I am incapacitated by grief  
For I can not surrender
