Final Farewell

My unshed tears drown my aching heart
So long ago you stood beside me through the pain,
Now you are no longer here and I grieve anew,
With an empty ache I never saw coming.

Can’t stay here, so many memories
The stars stab my soul with the memoirs of your words
I can’t feel you any longer, but I need you still
I search the sea’s gaze, though I know your dead and buried.

The wind howls in my ears,
The screaming of my dying heart.
I never could tell you what I held locked away,
How I loved you so it hurt to breath.

I can’t help but think,
What if I had spoken.
Would it all be different?
Would you still be whole and happy?

I whisper to the wind,
Praying my last whispered call hears you,
And you know the truth at last.
That I did love you.
