How many times did I write
Prose after prose about
You: my life…
Line upon line
Painting my world
Creating emotions
That you’d never hold
Numerous rhymes
The embodiment of my tears
Emotions upon paper
Written through fear.

How many times, my love
Oh how many words
Devoted to you
Your heartbeat
Your sweet breath upon my skin
The warmth of your smile…

And now
Oh now
Where are you
A body without
No heartbeat within
Your sweet breath
I shall never feel again..

Now I’m alone
With so many words left unsaid
And you, my precious corpse
Shall haunt my memories until I too am dead.

How many times did I write
Poem after poem
Through emotions so true

How many times did I suspend
The very thoughts that forever tie me to your side

How many times
Did I not say
“I love you”
As you walked away…
