One Last Walk

One Last Walk
Falling, falling faster as my world comes crashing in Shattered into pieces, a fragmented puzzled man Blind sided catastrophically, recovery seems so rare Wide eyed, open mouthed, jaw dropped into nowhere What I thought so perfect, you thought the other way around Cardiac arrest, dead chest, breath of no air, voice without sound The pain in me categorically a level 10 on a disastrous scale Falling through open space, a hopeless Jack A$$ with no tail I thought that we were happy, I thought you were my best friend Was it that easy to forget me, is he that much better of a man If I die I'll go peacefully if true happiness is what you've found This I thought you had with me as I smile teeth first into the ground Please, please just remember me, look to the stars I'll be right there My love for you is unconditionally, your Guardian Angel of despair You have infected my entire Being, every part of me loves you so One last time please hold my hand and walk with me before I go...

Such a tender, although sad, portrayal of lost love, Brian. We do become infected with love. Congratulations on this one.
