14 years

A life time of the purest love

Compressed, compartmentalized 

Down to fit inside the ribcage

Of such a tiny being

I often wonder

How the gods

Managed that

The yin and yang of my world

I was unbalanced without both

And became whole when you came together.

She is my sun

And you are my moon

How can the world continue

Without it's night?

How do days turn

Without the lunar cycle?

Tell me, my moonlit angel,

How can time begin moving again?

When everything is frozen, a continuum shattered because for me this is world altering

Little angel, tell me how

Remind me how breath can return to my lungs as I choke on the amount of love bleeding into my chest

Remind me how to close the wound lest I bleed out and lay in a pool of my own innards, unable to regather myself

Remind me how I will be strong against the terrors that reign in the darkest spaces of my mind without your presence to hold them at bay

Remind me how to live, because the sun of my life still needs me

A veil so thin separating worlds

Flickering a prism of scattered light

Into a rainbow bridge

Connecting the other side

As I watch you pass the threshold 

But here you can walk with no trouble.

I had waged a war with Death

Threatened that she couldn't have you

Bared my fangs against her closeness to you

She was my enemy

Here to capture you, steal you away

And yet now, she and I stand on opposite sides of this bridge

Now you are with her

And it is because I begged her to take you

In her arms I saw a sweet release

A compassion to take your pain away

The very pain that I stood helpless, unable to unburden you with

But Death shouldered that burden

She walked you to the other side

Where you feel reborn

A young soul chasing galaxies

In a game of fetch across the universe

Tell me, my little sweet soul,

How do I tourniquet this wound in my heart?
