Someday, Not Today

There is nothing left. We have lost and our existence will be mourned by those who have come to love us. The rain comes down to wash away the fires, and to let us see clearly, that we no longer have a place in this small world we all desire to possess.

Our tears are masked as raindrops, the heavens cry for us, trying to ease our pain so death won't be so painful to our soul.

Why do you just stare at me, as I have your bloodied body nestled between my scalded legs? Go to sleep already, the war is over. There is no reason to have a field of our corpses to be the last thing you see, as your breath slowly fades away.

Even with the rain, I know you are not crying, my tears are the ones falling on your cheeks. Eyes that once held an entire forest, were empty as a dead tree. And as tired as you looked, you still try to smile. Don't be so cruel.

It's alright

You say as you reach your hand to touch my cheek.

There is no need to weep, nothing lasts forever

That's why I'm sad.

It's expected for humans to die. What will we be without death waiting for us at the end of the line?

You're so silly, we'd just be immortal.

Many of us want to meet death sooner because life can be unbearable. When we leave this place, we will finally feel at peace with darkness holding us, as a mother holds her child.

You're so cruel. Showing me a false smile all this time.

Maybe in another life, I will be able to look at you, and feel a light inside. Maybe in another time, I won't have to die inside every time I wake up from a fleeting dream

Did the war make you happy? You can finally die because of it.

Yes. But I wish I would have died, before you have found me. After seeing you cry, I wish I was blind. After hearing your breaking voice, I wish I was deaf. Now I will have to leave, knowing that I have killed your heart

Those who were left of us, dragged the bodies of the fallen. It's time to go, we need to find a new home. But I will never find it, because you won't be there.

They tell me to leave with them already, but I can't when you are struggling to breathe. I still want to see you go, despite my heart tearing into pieces.

You wiped away my tears as best as you could, and smiled again, only halfway. I know your soul is slipping away, I'm selfish to keep you here and torture you more with my misery. Although, it might not be as close as to what you felt all your life. I wish you had told me.

I hold your face as well, to remember how your skin felt against mine.

You close your eyes, and now I can see tears coming out. Maybe you don't want to go? Don't be scared, I'm still here.

I will find you in another life, because our souls are one. The other cannot go on without its half, even after death. I'll wait even an eternity to be with you again. Forgive me...for leaving you so soon
