Brighter

Saw you in a dream last night
House full of strangers
Flickering bulbs devoid of light

Something seemed off
You lazily smiled
Blank eyes told me the cause

Concern meshed with my wasted mind
I woke thinking I'd see you soon
But your future was reassigned

Death came calling without warning
Years of friendship
Replaced with a lifetime of mourning

It was good to see you while I slept
Seems you were sending me a reminder
Ten years since your last breath
 
A reminder...
To live in a world that's a little brighter
And to never stop being a fighter

Still miss you Z.M.
