The sun peeks out from amongst the clouds, earth illuminated in a bright light scattering across the plains. The clouds skirt the sky in a playful dance, streaking across the endless blues in hues of light whites and deep greys. Though a sight beautiful and warm, how fickle I am to have such a rain in my heart.
Staring up from the earth, motionless. Body of steel, but still so, a heart of gold. Once cheerful, now left to fester in the cold hands of the soil it lays in.
Lifeless eyes. Once full of wonder and joy. Visible emotion that once reflected behind now sits glazed over, dull and unseeing. Cold body. Once whirring with life, now lost of the continuous function that once stirred beneath. Rather a husk of its former self, unliving; departed of this realm. Clockwork heart. Once filled with vitality, movement, the capability of thousands of emotions and millions of thoughts, now still, motionless as if never formed to have moved at all.
Would it be so cruel to forget the time that we shared? The memories of a better past, and the ideals of a future now ceased. The peaks of our emotion, shared in triumph, and the lows of our mentality, burden spread ebbing and flowing between our minds, but always supported by one another. Would it truly be so fickle, to forget this life I once treasured to be by my side, now left behind, abandoned deep in the ground? Could I really forget the time I spent, the priceless moments, the dreams, hopes, and falls that we sought together? When we grasped towards the heavens I thought you to be eternally beside me, but such a thought was truly in vain. Now you lay beneath these skies, unable to reach beside me, and now I must bear this burden, shared by both, entirely upon myself.
Would I ever be able to forget? That is a question I can not yet answer. But for both your sake, and mine, I will remember this dream that we once shared, in what may even be a futile attempt, a last struggle to feel connection with you now that you cease to remain. And thus, reach up once more, I will carry our dream to the heavens.
