Lost
In memory,
Your eyes,
Staring up at the ceiling,
As you lay on the floor.
You know I’m there
Because you aren’t really
Inside anymore.
You’re in the air I breathe
On that cold and rainy
Winter night.
You’re in my mind
And all around me.
You’re holding my heart
In your hands
As I grieve
The loss of you,
And yet I know
You are still with me.
No more pain
From that sickly body.
No more shame
From social stigma.
Just peace and joy
Whisking through your soul
As you dance
With your new legs
At rainbow bridge,
Where all your dogs
Run and play.
It’s a good day
To be alive.
