She consoled me every time I felt down 

Picked me up each time I fell 

Her contagious laughter filled the air, making even the most depressed people jolly 

When she cried, the world wept

When she wept, the world shattered

Her eyes narrated more than she could ever express 

Transcendental storms raged in them each time she saw me

But fate twisted beyond recognition 

Her eyes stared at me as I lay on our bed 

Unblinking and leaking with pain 

Torment inflicted upon her innocent heart by me 

I reached out to wipe them, to explain 

But she was no more... 

A ghost had replaced her 

Her presence lingers, but nothing tangible 

The torture perpetuates with no solace 

What have I done? 

My pretentious prank had sown the seeds of endless agony 

They say time either races or drags 

But it only drags when you have lost the love of your life..
