Drift off,
Away from this place.
Escape
The worn-out feeling
Of having no place.
I remain here
Killing time;
Time is killing me.
You’re the only thing on my mind—
As I struggle to breathe.
If you can’t make it,
How will I?
We both fought so hard,
But you did it with a smile.
There is so much
I still wanted to say,
Like how you are loved
In so many ways.
But, I guess you knew.
And your pain was too great.
Know that I don’t blame you,
Yet your absence leaves
An unbearable weight.
I wish I was a better friend.
I wish I was there in the end.
But I don’t get to wish—
Not even for a final embrace.
Goodbye will take forever.
Please don’t ever leave my mind.
I hope to see you again someday;
Yet I’m not sure when or how.
And here I sit,
In pure disbelief.
Killing time,
While time is killing me.
In the end,
I just hope
That you’re finally
At peace.
