Loss — The Poet Sky

I Still Miss You

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 10:00:00 +0000

It's been a year since I last held you Since I last saw your smile Since I last felt your joy

I still think of you How you were always happy How you thought you were bigger than everyone else How you always took care of me

I can see your ghost When I come home to quiet When I wake up to no one there When I lie down and no one runs over to me

One year later I still cry for you I still love you I still miss you

GLAD

Thu, 26 Sep 2024 10:00:00 +0000

When we met it was all so new But where I saw fear You saw hope

You said it'd be okay that no matter what, I was loved And I was glad

I have new friends Because you told me it was okay to accept them To let them help me

I got to know you I came to love you And for a time I got to have a best friend again

Now you're gone forever And all I've got left are my memories of you And the hope you gave me

I'll never forget you I'll use the lessons you taught me In your brief time in this world to help others like you

And in the end even though I cry every day I'm GLAD I met you and I wouldn't change it for the world

I Said Yes

When I was asked to care for you I didn't think I'd be able to I had a lot going on But I still couldn't say no

You were excited or sleeping There was no in between Even when your energy was too much I still couldn't say no

For the innumerable times when you were there Exactly when I needed a friend Cuddling me when I was sad or sick I'm so glad I said yes

Even though you're gone And there's a hole in my life I look back on our time with love and joy Forever grateful that I said yes

I Know I Can Fly

Mon, 09 Dec 2019 15:10:02 +0000

(Told from the perspective of Skyeyes from Girl in Red)

You didn't know what was best You pushed me around like the rest Deceptive, condescending The secrets unending Determined to run my life Then leave me to deal with the strife Until everything fell apart I fell, weighed down by a broken heart When I thought everything was lost to me You held out your arms and caught me You told me that I could fly All I had to do was try With your guidance I made it through All that time looking up to you No one else understood me But you brought out the best in me

Everything got harder but you pushed me farther You kept me on the right path even when I was stabbed in the back Then you left and I had to make do But I still didn't need to live without you

I was in trouble Nowhere to go Out of options, but not alone When darkness fell You stood tall You smiled at me, then you were gone It's been an honor to be your friend You said to me at the end

I can't see the path, I'm lost By the storm and winds, I'm tossed I asked what I should do I wondered what you would do Mistake after mistake It was too much to take Then I almost died and imagined you at my side I knew then just what you'd say Help them out; show them the way

Step by step, I'm on my way Moving forward every day I'll keep an eye on those who need me Using the strength that you taught me I'll make you proud I've got to try Because of you I know I can fly

All We Have Left

Wed, 23 Oct 2019 13:29:35 +0000

(Told from the perspective of Brain from Girl in Red)

I used to believe in you You always knew what to do When the world was black as the night You held out your hand and said it's alright You said “I'm always here for you” But then before my very eyes The world was stained red by your demise All alone you've left us With no one to defend us Poisoned by the snake and its lies

Those days that shone gold like the sun The days of laughter, the days of fun It took them from us with its scheming And its silver fangs are still gleaming All I want to do is run

When you finally returned It wasn't long before I learned You weren't the same as before You're on another side of this war What we had was scattered and burned

There's no one else but me That can stop the coming tragedy I have to choose a path ahead Before we all wind up dead Why does it have to be me?

Red like roses, black as the skies Our blood now spills, our innocence dies I don't want this to be how it ends But you've taken so many friends Their screams erased the lullabies

And now, my love, all we have left are goodbyes
