Pieces of me: Praying to a Corpse

There are moments when

I’d miss you

And my heart stops

I forget how to breathe

My body aches

I’d long for our youth

My first real heartbreak

My first true loss

For I could never get you back

I’m not sure if there is a God

But there was you

So I’d find your tombstone

Pray to your corpse

I’d pray that you’re in a better place

That you’re at peace  

That you’re watching us from above

And I’d pray to tell you how sorry I am

That I’m surviving and you didn’t

Wishing you hadn’t left

How things would be easier if you were here

To tell me to believe in myself

To not give up

To keep pushing forward

And so I live

For the both of us

To carry on your brilliant spirit

Your vibrant soul

In this cruel world

I’ll carry a piece of you

And guard it with my life

Hoping I will feel your rebirth

When angels inhabit Earth again
