You start off small, with that feeling in your chest

And he looks at you

And says words you’ll never forget

They ring in your ears,

Every day you’re getting closer

Offering sweet, succulent kisses

They are cold at times, too.

He pushes you down in the summer heat

In your coffin, it gets oh so heavy

As your heart burns through your chest

The ashes pile up in the hands of the cremation

He gently steals your breath and you moan

For help; for ecstasy

The feeling in your stomach is back

Ten fold

The news starts spreading

Some could care less

Others come for comfort

You watch them all

They do not know your pain

They do not know those exact words he said;

Or the high when he stole your breath

All they know is it’s over

All you are left with is memories,

Darkness and quiet suffering

Trapped in some nethersphere

Slowly pittering away with thoughts

Then like a phoenix

Life comes swooping back in

Breathes you back into it’s wake

And moving on to better days.
