Inhale and hold it

You know this pain

The kind that never goes away

The kind that never forgives

Do you remember when we sat on the hill and talked about life?

You were so beautiful then

You and the sunset

You and your innocence

My cat died

Our cat

I buried him

And said a few words

You would have been proud

You would have cried

I did.

There's nothing left of what we had except this pain

Was there really anything else?

The ship sails at dawn

I will be on it
