Lion-less

by Baby Rainbow   Feb 6, 2015


It's been seven years
since you disappeared from life
and vanished into the land of dreams
through the pillow on your death bed.

Like the most courageous lion,
you tried to protect me
from my memory of pain and lies,
even though I kept pushing you
further away from my heart.

But I guess I never thought
I would have missed you this much,
as this overwhelming sadness
swallows me inside the darkness.

I lost the only person
who ever moved mountains for me,
and seven years on I wonder,
why on earth did you love me?

    This poem broke something within me. The sadness that you feel is so raw, even though it has been years yet your wounds seem so fresh with the vulnerability that you showed in here. You are such a sweet and kind person, and you are easily loved. I know this kind of loss in unforgettable but you learn how to live with the pain.

    Heartfelt poem, I loved reading it.
    Love you xxx
