Truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every sun bitter. -Arthur Rimbaud

For when you are gone your soul shall fade.
Awoken upon death my life is slain.
Where you go my heart will follow, although
One is weak, and one is hollow...
Riding with death I shall never forget
The life I had, and the love he gave
The love I have is the soul he graved...
The memories we had I'll never regret.
As my eyes shut tight I remember his fret.
For our love is great, but the light wears thin.
My heart finds light when I think of him.
He rests in ash among the night sky.
I rest in peace even though I cry.
Now awoke in his death, but still wonder why...

The author's comments:
Well it started out as a little project for the class, and it kind of had a hidden meaning to me...My teacher had told us to write about something we love. I automatically had thought my Step Father. Which as you can read he has passed...it was in 08. I'm okay I guess now, but still feel the pain, the love, and him...I can never let go...Even though he's passed he still hasn't left me...Figuratively speaking...

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
