My Old friend.

Today we are part
Fear, my dear old friend.
I think I shall miss you,
though I am unfamiliar with such a space,
a void without your warm embrace.
a little lost, a little hopeless.
twisting and turning in memories of your caress.

what life is this?
so numb and mute.
so tranquil
like a sleeping shoot.
i know not such peace.
where life and death meet
the sharpest tip
the Heaven`s dip.
what life is this?

the days behind us,
when on cold mornings you warmed my heart
with tender words,
when the stormy world tore me apart
and stripped me to the soul
and shook me to the bone.
you kissed my eyes close
and lifted my head
and laid it on your chest
forever to rest.

When on nights of heat
you blew soft breaths at my feet
and brought fresh rains of peace
that my fever soothed.
beads of sweat oozed
from the pain of an unthinkable love.
rain and sweat and tears clubbed,
made memories forevermore.

Today we are part
Fear, my old friend.
I have lost you in the deep,
for, you were never mine to keep.
In the minds of others you will be born,
and another like me,
will be torn
and twisted and turned on
those giant waves of your unthinkable love.
I shall only watch from far
and delight in their new love stories.
