Losing My Breath

Travis Green

I was losing my breath and notes,
the beautiful poetry flowing in my cells
as I stood near your grave, knowing
that it was all over and you were
never coming back. I felt so lonely
and lost, stuck in saddened songs,
moonwashed metaphors, slippery
syllables sinking in immense
inkwells. It was the hardest part
of my life to stare at the lovely
flowers placed so perfectly upon
the surface, my heart searching
for serenity and restoration,
trying to fight back the tears
and stay strong through it all.
But I was helpless, delirious,
an absolute wreck, emotionally
spaced out, the light breeze around me
an aching depiction driving me
into agonizing states beyond the mind,
outstretched, declined, divided,
drifting in between broken derivatives.
I was inexistent, extinguished, nothingness,
unlined, deprived, wandering in time.
I would’ve given anything to have you
back in my life, to hear your beautiful
voice sift in my ears, reminding me
that you would always be around,
that you would always love me
until the end of time.
