Tw for inferred death.

A sudden flame of anguish rises inside of me

I startle at this, as a ghost of a hand touches my shoulder,

as I turn, as I see a vision of you

crying, smiling.

goodbye.

your lips form the words, but I hear no sound,

then, quick as you were to make a joke,

to bring a smile to me,

you're gone.

as I look up, searching for you in some sign

I see a silhouette rise against the clouds,

a swift, fitting, for your quick jabs at me,

for your laughter-filled insults

it moves off, against the sky,

off into the heavens,

where,

by some unwritten message,

I know you lie in now.

and I hold back tears,

I regret not travelling on with you, 

I feel guilt swallow me, as I regret all the time I missed 

with your smile not by my side.
