Sink into my skin
A temporary shock that knocked me,
As the truth of your passing came,
I tried to grasp onto something
To grapple with life’s uncertain pain.
~
I sat by your remaining heartstrings
Tried to see a path to understanding
I wrote words as an epitaph of love
But nothing held me to the surface.
~
I couldn’t ask you what you thought,
Nor breath a word to anyone else,
For you were who I was most like,
You understood me like yourself.
~
In permanence, just like your death,
In defining ink your name now reads,
A piece of you sinks into my skin,
To keep you closer than the night sky.
