My dream died yesterday...

he drew his last breath

and I cried....and I cried....and I cried

my dream, my child, my love -died.

so I tried to get myself together

as shock took over me

but as I laid my dreams to rest, a little bit of me

was buried with him and I too died

I died on the inside

in the hollows of my heart, I passed away

and I saw her, my optimistic self at rest

in the casket with hope and belief

as I performed my own eulogy

I too need peace.

As she and he passed into eternity

so did I

yesterday was the day a little piece of me died.
