Bare Branches

Unable to erase all the time you and I shared .
All the vacations we took at the coast,
All the food we ate together,
It all now tastes like bitter honey.
All the advice you gave me now bears more weight than ever.
Like piercing needles your words puncture wounds in my eardrums.

Before you breathed your last ,
You always put my feelings first.
Your hurt mattered not more than my heart.
I will forever remember how you were always there for me.
With nostalgia I stare at your pictures,
My eyes leaking and my heart bleeding at the slightest though of you.

You always said goodnight.
You always planted a kiss on my cheek before I slept .
But you forgot something this time,
You forgot to say goodbye.
I'm ever at the door waiting for you to come back home.

Where did you go?
I badly need to follow,
Now that life's meaning is gone.
Are you okay?
Do you still watch over me like you said you would back at the hospital?

Three weeks I have spent in your room,
Mama is really worried.
I am now on suicide watch.
She says you would want me to move on,
Please tell me if she is right.

I am alive but not living .
I am now like a tree with bare branches.
