Ode to Milan

Long lost wraiths of ecstasy still keep us two apart Sweeping through the barren land that is my heart That is my soul That makes me what I am. The bitter wind of sorrow swallows up your whispered name None memories which haunt me None emotion written down It is what I have forgotten What I must forget I must go on forgetting Forget to feel Forgetting who I am. Aching bone from struck off limb Tired burning eyes As light within begins to dim The thought of you lieing there alone Your body colder than your name carved into stone Still nothing compares the torment Of sending you back home. Slowly time erase's your face etched in my mind Yet your words resonate through me Tainting everything I do Your voice echoes in the silence of my dreams I now fear none Only fear itself it seems. In life no mystery I do find Forever winter wasteland Four seasons pass my eyes Yet all feel cold like winter 'Tis the season when you died Like a mist upon the water A veil of mourning shrouds me now As if I where a moonless night The stars that once shone in my eyes Now fall forever Eternal bittersweet twilight. In your absense I have found my inner strength I loved your life Going on without you I also learnt to love myself This is an ode to the gift of loss When I lost my best of friends I love your death as it taught me how to live and love again Rest In Peace MILAN (Mitjco)
