Dear Chantelle

I opened your closet
late this evening at Sunset
Your sweet smell kidnapped my soul
tears fell from my eyes, and reminded me your fall

I read your journal last night 
I'm sorry, you said not to
As your spirit and mine argue, I accept to lose the fight 
even though you gave up yours too soon 

I sung to your lyrics early this morning
Little John, did the same 
we held each other's hand tight, mourning and celebrating your departure and existence
