The devil's passport
has left me
in this dying state.
My mind
in its cruelty
will dissipate.
I reach out for you
and touch
your face.
I just want
to die
in your sweet embrace.
This hunger inside
has left me
weak
and there is no one else
with whom
to speak.
I am the lone
survivor
of a terrible crash
but the phoenix
will not rise
from the ash.
After several months
of isolation
and inevitable despair
the diary
has stopped
and I do not care.
Please look after
our son
so he can see
the love of his father
will always
be
and darling,
in spirit,
we shall never part
in knowing
each day
is a brand new start.
As the wind blows
softly
across your hair
my dear,
for you,
I will always be there.
The sun may set
without
another word
although everything
you say
will be lovingly heard
and in this darkness
my heart
is the only sound.
I am forever
lost
and island bound.
