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
