Farewell, to Marcus

At dawn I arise looking for some escape, some door to leave from

This path seems the blackest, but I guess it’s the soonest


But there in the clearing, I know you’ll be wearing

Your young aching smile while waving your hand


Cant go with my heart when I cant feel whats in it

I thought you’d come over, but for some reason

You didn’t glass on the pavement under my shoe

Without you is all my life amounts to.


A chance for calm, a hope for freedom

Outlet from my cold, solitary kingdom

By the forest of our spring stay, where you walked away


And left a bleeding part of me

Empty and bothered, watching the water

Quiet in the corner, numb and falling through

Without you, what does my life amount to?


So this is my final goodbye to you,

Praying you stay true to me in my absence

While you weep, I'll be out in a land full of nothingness

Trying to find my true meaning of life.


The author's comments:

This is about the tragic love & despair of a woman who lost her husband a couple of months back. She begins to have hallucinations of him in her mind, thinking that he's still alive when in reality, shes just losing her mind and grieving over Marcus. She uses these hallucinations of Marcus as a coping mechanism.
