Distorted by Absence

A practice in respiration, breathe out then in
As doors begin to shut, new chapters begin
Rosaries clutched then tossed in the dirt
My faith diminishes as I succumb to the hurt
Your Spirit Dies
My heart breaks as you waste away
You'll forget my name for one more day
The sky grows colder and bereft of light
Your waning memory matches your fading sight
I watch as you grasp for your final breath

One day in life and the next in death
(You said) that everything was fine
(Never once) did it cross my mind
That I would be on the other side of the flatline
Giving up the ghost as your soul resigns
My reflection is distorted by your absence
Though you'll live on in unending heartache
How much longer must I pretend
That the hurt won't turn to hate?
