Far to Young
You shouldn’t have gone. You should’ve been the one to stay. But not even the strongest wishes can bring you back to me. You were far too young to die slowly. You were only one. We tried and tried to keep you in good health. But not everything is what we wish to be. All the doctors turned us away saying you were fine when we tried to get you help. We tried to keep you safe. But even a mother who abuses doesn’t help. Bruised and weak you were slowly fading away. Your once tan skin slowly faded a sickly grey. Your happy smile turned to cries. Your once happy filled eyes slowly turn dull. The sight of you always stopped my heart. Every time I saw you this way my eyes were filled with pain. Cough by cough your lungs slowly shriveled up. Until you were fully gone. Taken by death, you were only one. You were far too young.

I Can Still Smell You
Another night home late from the office
I hide there to avoid facing our empty house
People have stop asking if I'm okay
Like by now I should've stopped aching inside
Still it hasn't been quite a year
Though I dread when that fatal anniversary arrives
I remember it all, the strange symptoms, bleeding
The trip to the doctor, the rug being pulled out from my feet
At least I can say the words now, pancreatic cancer
But you never smoked or had a family history
We thought we had more time, putting off till tomorrow
All those things we should have done and said
I still sleep on my side of our huge bed
Reaching my foot across to find you still there
Then once again it dawns on me, like I could ever forget
You're no longer here and I'm alone
At times it is more than I can bare, all the wasted time
Squandered moments, missed kisses, and postponed dances
Now all I have are the memories and the regrets
And a closet full of your clothes and the ghost of your memory
On really bad days I gather up your blue cashmere sweater
Holding close to my chest and breath in deeply
Though it is faint and barely a whisper
I still can smell you and for a moment I find peace
Another night home late from the office
I hide there to avoid facing our empty house
People have stop asking if I'm okay
Like by now I should've stopped aching inside
Still it hasn't been quite a year
Though I dread when that fatal anniversary arrives
I remember it all, the strange symptoms, bleeding
The trip to the doctor, the rug being pulled out from my feet
At least I can say the words now, pancreatic cancer

On really bad days I gather up your blue cashmere sweater

Love Warrior
I only knew you for twelve days
twelve days is all it took to make you a priority
to wait and see you pop up in my inbox
to have deep meaningful, emotional, conversations
to tell you things I didn't know I could share
to never meet you but to call you a dear friend
to know things about you and trust each other
we were internet friends, the most simple yet complex of friends
Deciding if you were real or fake just my the thing we typed to one another
Simple because I could tell you things without being judged
making you laugh and imagining you giggles
thinking about your day and whether or not you thought of me
just at the beginning of our promising, friendship
and to feel better and more understanding about myself
then one day as I'm trying to fall asleep I receive a message that your dead
you died to a car accident and didn't make it
leaving your ten month old daughter fatherless
leaving your girlfriend, family, and friends
I am still in shock
I will always be your love warrior

Subconscious
My hands shoved you forward
My tears drowned your soul
My words shattered your heart
And I knew, how fragile you were
I should've been the one
Layed out on the pavement
With Blood and bone
Seeping into the cracks
I should've been the one
To be crushed by the impact
It should've been my corpse
Frostbitten in the snow that night
Instead, I gripped on to you
And the blood and pain swirled as one in my mind

Till Death Do Us Part
one day we will reach the light before i cry
beside my love, i just watched you die.
days we were close
were your heart beats close to mine.
looking into your eyes for the very last time.
mabey in life you will whip my tears,
to whisper you love me in my ears.
and with your hands you'll run threw my hair,
looking in your eyes i smile and stare
Its fragrance shielding off despair,
to remember beyond death
the softness of your lips and the sweetness of your breath.
and while i hold you close and near,
till death do us part your spirit appear.
The breath from my kiss will take you away
And so you are gone without delay.
many years will come and ill feel your embrace,
no other love will take the shape of your face.

The Last Rites
I thrust my tongue
deep into your mouth
and felt the cold taste of dust
choking on eternity
I gazed hard into your eyes,
searching for a spark
some recognition
lingering from the soul
but all I saw
was my own scared reflection
settling on the glassy stare
of a stranger
Gently,
I brushed the hair from your cheek
begging your lips for a smile
but your head only jerked
then lolled to one side
staring vacantly
towards the clock on the bedside table
I wanted to tear off your jeans
and bury myself in your thighs
to hear you moan
while I felt you shudder and cry
to tell you I was sorry
that I hadn't been there for you
to say how much I loved you
a final time
and how I would love you
always and forever
But there was no forever
and always was a lie
from now on
there would be only this moment
swallowing the rest of my life
the cruelest of reminders
ripping out my own dead
heart.

How do does your heart not break when tge other dies?
How does your soul not fill with sadness?
How can you feel the love they gave you when the other is quite obviously dead?

You're talking to a fucking necrophiliac and you're talking about hearts and souls, lol. You truly are as naive as they come, "love" exists as so much more forms than you could possibly contemplate, you truly have no idea.
