Where Lovers Go To Live
I lay on my bed, alone cold and unafraid
One last solitary tear streams down my face following the path of the others before it
I feel numb, inside and out
You left my side and in doing so left me to face this world alone.
You seemed so strong and alive
I never imagined in my wildest nightmares a world without you
But now you are gone and I am lost.
I feel a warm light tickle of a touch on my cold lifeless hand
Is it you coming back for me?
I try to clutch it but I can’t move
I'm struggling to hold on now, it is now I wonder
Have I made a mistake?
But in my head I can hear your voice soothing and reassuring
Your comforting words help me let go
This room is fading away and with it so am I,
I feel like smiling but don’t have the energy
I am so very tired my mind turns to you and our memories; no longer do I feel the pain in
my wrists
I open my eyes
And instant smile plays across my lips you are by my side!
But something is different I feel weightless, not cold yet not warm
You are looking at me and smiling, you look down I follow your gaze
Confusion and love are my only emotions
I can see myself but I do not look like myself
I am pale and lifeless; trees surround this scene like something out of a film;some are crying others
just morbid
A grave is my new bed
It is next to yours I turn back to look at you,
You smile back, and kiss me softly
I feel more alive with you now in this place than I ever did in my mortal life
It is now in this new place that we can finally start to live xx
