I couldn’t save you.
My dearest love, the hardest truth I bear,
A heavy stone upon my breaking chest:
I couldn't save you. This, my deep despair,
The burden of a soul that finds no rest.
I would have traded everything I owned,
My strength, my very breath, my fragile life,
If for a moment longer you had shown
Your presence here, escaping bitter strife.
To buy one fragile second, I'd have paid
With all I am, a bargain gladly made.
But I stood helpless, watching you slip free,
As if the air itself dissolved your form.
The world collapsed in deafening agony,
A silent ruin amidst the gathering storm.
Each second stretched, a universe undone,
As darkness fell before the setting sun.
It broke a thing inside me, deep and stark,
A fractured core that time cannot repair.
A wound that leaves an everlasting mark,
Beyond all solace, distance, or the care
Of passing years. It bleeds, an endless pain,
A love unhealed, a love that will remain.
