Come and Gone
7 years have come and gone
Deep beneath the earth you lay
No more will you watch dusk or dawn
I wish we had just one more day
You were my knight
My inspiration
You brought in my life a light
You built in me a strong foundation
To be who I am today
I miss you most on special days
I miss your voice
Your silent ways
The way you held me
When my thoughts went astray
Gave me a shoulder to lean on
On my darkest days
My light burnt out
When you were gone
Deep into the abyss
My heart was gone
Shattered now in little slivers
It took me years
To mend myself
And longer still to overcome my fears
I kept in mind
What you had wished
For me to live
A life of bliss
You loved me more
Than I could know
Now with that gift
My heart will beat
With little fear
And little dread
For one day
We will meet again
