They told me that you

Would be okay

That you wouldn’t die

They lied to me

Fed me false hopes that I

Somehow believed.

It was only you.

You were the one I loved so much.

You helped me through every day.

Even when I thought

The end was near

You were always

Constantly

Here.

You’re body was weak.

It killed me

Just looking at you

Just your eyes

They weren’t the same.

You didn’t recognize me

Did you?

They told me that you

Would make it through

They told me

To go to bed

They didn’t pay attention as you died.

As I cried.

I died with you

We scheduled to leave together

On the same boat

Yet somehow I

Got stranded on the docks

Never getting

To say goodbye
