# A short poem

Imported from SF2 with no description.

I have not experienced this specifically but, something like it, a less dire version of such a thing. I was on the verge, an edge of no return, I wrote this solely to help, because I have been in the same place as both characters in this piece.

===

_A single breath, filled with five words_

_a life like no other to live in his hold_

_my life is his and his is mine_

_if only we had the time_

_to tell each other what it really meant_

_before the night when he was dead_

_It was a cold night_

_we said our goodbyes sitting at a kneel,_

_he spoke in a soft voice "Don't live in my spite"_

_I left that night wondering what he had meant_

_"spite?" I asked, "for how does that feel?"_

_"I know no thing that can cause me to feel"_

_"In such a way against my breath, my breath of life, who I love best" _

_The dead of night the deed was done, my lover was gone his heart turned cold_

_when I visit him, I scream aloud, breaking into tears I see it now_

_"he wanted me to forgive him, he believed it was him, no it was me, my actions, my strife"_

_My time was spent grieving and crying, believing I had done wrong_

_the blame was not really mine but on everyone_

_but I cried, I tried to follow his song_

_I was stopped, by a smiling face, who taught me to live for him, live in him._

_My life continued at a steady pace, but I never forgot his pain and wondered, why._

The lesson to take away you ask? Death causes pain; leaves mysteries that will never be solved, I hope anyone hurting out there with the pains of the boyfriend or the main character may be helped by this.
