Don’t Miss Me

"The love that burns brightest also burns quickest"

Souls recognised from afar
Like a comet approaching a star
When we got close we burst into life
Slicing your space and leaving a scar
A home in my heart cut with a knife.

Not like binaries, close forever
But tied with a cord nothing could sever
I caught your tail and we started to dance
There was no care whatsoever
I didn’t know then, I’d missed my chance.

Hidden beneath ice waiting to burst
The beauty of you for which I thirst
I am the wind peeling back your shell
Releasing passion that once was submersed
And you carved a place for your soul to dwell

Coming to me when life seemed so bleak
Sowing your petals when I was weak
When times were dark you lit up my night
Giving me joy with the tiniest peek
Your quirky smile such a wonderful sight

Pulled apart from beyond our control
Watching you fade like a black hole
I miss you already before you are gone
Wanting you back now my only goal
Will you miss where I once shone

Ten billion years I’ll wait and then one more
To see you again close to my shore
But as I pass and my body decays
I know I will see you in this life no more
With you in my thoughts I start my last phase

A supernova ready to burn into the night
Lighting your way to save you from fright
Don’t miss me I’m with you, holding your hand
Though I must cross the bridge tonight
Know that I’m waiting in the Summerland.

I have to go it’s not what I’d choose
The race against time we all have to lose
Leaving you is the last thing I want
The universe won’t care it’s rather obtuse
Loving you the last thing I flaunt.

I pray to the Mother to take care of you now
Where ever you go I ask for her vow
To guide your path in love and do not cease
Until it is time for you to cross the bough
Then bring us together forever in peace.

Thinking of you with a smile on my lips
Love for you even death can’t eclipse
Memories so sweet as I draw my last gasp
Always on mind as away my life slips
The most beautiful thing for me to grasp.

When the moon rises lighting the night
When the wolf howls at the sight
Don’t miss me I’m with you, holding your hand
With all your spirit continue to fight
And know I’m waiting for you in the Summerland.
