The Smoke That Took You Away

The smoke coming out of you
Caused much more than the average flu
Every single puff
Has taken me out 
I fly as you used to 
Just to see if the ocean was still blue
I go to your stone everyday 
All to pray for the better times
My tears wept just because I think of you
When we used to dance 
Underneath the clouds
Where the smoke went up to 
I see your face go up to the heavens 
Waving down to me 
I climb the mountains
Reaching up 
I would wait forever 
But I cant
The more I long the shorter the song
I cant take you being gone 
For that I must go where
I belong

So very sad. Loosing a love is never easy and there is little to say that makes it better. ~jan

Thank you for the support. As much of my poems end up with the perception of being sad and about loss, I feel that if it was not it would loose the way of how it touched peoples heart.Once I again thanks :)
