A cargo forgone and lost
Is easier to imagine
Than you dead and gone.
Hard to forget
Hence your thoughts prickling my soul.

The news attacked my emotions
Words lost beneath my lungs
Air trapped, fighting to escape;
Moisture gathered, my eyes welling up
A scream unheard, my head in flames.

The moments we have had
Streaming, making movies in my mind;
Things I have to tell you, untold;
Plans we had made, shattered;
Alone, I lost my world.

I will live for us,
Death will know it lost,
I will keep our dreams alive,
Your desires entwined with mine,
I will embrace the life you lost and live for us.
