pilther my tears, as they dampen everything
(no longer mine)
lock them away
(all of time)
in your soul
as you fade
ever so gently
steel my grief, as it enriches everything
(always be mine)
cage it shut
(all of time)
in my hole
as you burn
ever so brightly
memorialise yourself, you were your everything
(ours, now)
in my mind
you live on
forever

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: While I work on my couple of things for the March Madness challenge for Write Club, the Whispering Woods thing I have, and a few other things...here is a not so cheery, but rather honest poem.
