When you passed,
The cold ran through my heart
It swept through my chest,
Knocking the wind out of me
with agony
It made it’s way to my gut
Where it made itself at home
Digging in and creating its hollow
Gluttonous in my sorrow.
And then I think of you
And the light that you bring
The one that can’t be put out
The one I know still sings.
And an epiphany occurs
That such pure goodness can’t
be conquered
Won’t be extinguished forever ever
And I feel at peace with this
knowingness
And day by day,
That cold pitted ghoul that
leeched my soul
Gets smaller and smaller
Dying by faith and goodness
More dead than you could ever
be
Or ever will
