One month ago, my world stopped spinning
My heart kept racing, all alone
I kissed your hand, I kissed your nose
I paced for hours, in the hall
I sang beside you, all night long
Shared our stories, had some laughs
Shared our secrets, shed some tears
I saw you blink, I saw your eyes
I saw your body, but felt your soul
Your lips not moving,
I heard a whisper, heard my name

Rushed to your side, your pulse was slowing
Your mother screamed, your father cried
When we arrived, I saw you fighting
The numbers jumping, up then down
I held your hand, I watched your chest,
Rise and fall, with every breath
Could not believe, that you might die
Could not believe, you had to survive

One month ago, our world stopped spinning
Your brother said
“Can’t find his pulse”
Could not believe, could not believe
I kissed your hand, I kissed your nose
I felt the warmth, still fading away
I felt a liquid stain my lip
It was your body
It was your soul
Your life echoed in my own

I see the world, it’s not the same
I feel the empty, I feel the pain
I feel your hand over mine
Our fingers intertwined
I feel your body
Wrapped around mine
But turn around, see nothing
Lost

I don’t see how, I don’t see why
One month ago the world kept spinning
Someway, somehow, it should have stopped.
Before I got my dA account, I wrote this .... it was the first real poem I had written since Jason died. I wrote it around Valentines day, I think on Feb 15.

I needed it to be read, and my friend Jess :iconlady-dreamsoul: offered to post it for me on her account, and I wanted her too: [link]

Shortly after, I started writing more, and more, and more. I realised I needed to get my own account and start posting my own poems ASAP, the need to share overwelmed me ... so this is the poem that started it all, I thought maybe I should put it on my account too. I'm gonna let Jess leave it up. Its how I came to be on dA.
