Black and White

Staring at the emptiness

through tear-stained eyes.

Out of the corner

out of the shadows

I thought I saw you

come to save me.

 

Fidgeting uneasily

my brain soaked in drivel.

I wish you were near me

but you are away

in a better place.

 

I’m on my own

as I grow too old.

Miss you, kissing me

softly on my cheek

So I’m running

I’m screaming

as you follow me in

purring reassuringly.

 

You help me to swim

in the sea of my pity.

The pit where I think

I scream at the anger

at all the destruction

Wait for the second coming

Of you in body

with black and white hair

caring and waiting

at the top of the stair.

 

When I cry and I need you

you are always there

And today

I stare at the stars

look at your light

In the dark night sky.

 

I say that I miss you

how things are strange

I know you’re gone

but you’re still alive.

 

I hear you cry

like a baby in the night

searching forever

I know what I’ll find.

 

Nothingness

that’s forever without you.

 

Sometimes I feel us together

your ghost still haunts me

I hope it’s forever.

 

Every time I see you

You keep me together

The years pass quickly

I remember you dearly.

 

A guardian angel in heaven

to warn me of trouble

As I climb to my death

I’ll join you forever

and keep us together

I still miss you

and I’ll never love

like I love you.

If everything was black and white

this would be a beautiful life
