An image of you filters my thoughts
Remembering how the light danced on your body, your soul
Smoke filled shadows
Loom as dust settles on my skin
Shatters my hopes
As it does yours
Was it always this bad?
I don't recall
But you're gone, love
Is there another life beyond this?
Is it worthy of you?
I wonder, was I ever really worthy of you?
You floated like a complex feather
In a world too harried to notice you
I always saw you though
You're a spell, love
A beautiful aura all your own
But you're gone
And it no longer matters
