i die daily
i never imagined
a life without her
for she was my life
and how could i
possibly go on
without her . . .
but that was not how
it worked out
i would have gladly
laid down my life
that she would live .
. . forever
but the choice was
not mine
to make
ever since she went
away
i have died daily
hoping to resurrect
my self
to that place where
dreams smile
with a certain
providence
upon our wishes
for that . .
“Happily Ever After”
with White picket
fences
and no worries
about such
trivialities
such as
mortality
but Eden is not here
is it ?
we dream with Utopic
expectations
where the sensation
of Joy
only exists
who ever thought that
life
would come to this
you have gone away .
. ahead
and i . . .
the living dead
i would have died for
you
given the choice
but it was never
offered
so in lieu
of enjoying
the presence of you
i die daily
