Beyond. Poem by Anna Montgomery

The horizon was gray, a cold play
Only ice and breeze
cold in my chest
Dawn was colorless
a picture of an empty haze
I stood alone, pale, clutched in fear.
Grief and overwhelming pain
Alone I was a frozen feature
to the gray inside my day
for you were beyond
Gone, goodbye, my love
You walked through Death's doors
the shell of you in my arms
Barely more than bones
A storm of tears inside my chest
Forgotten and cold
Beyond the world where
you still roam
hidden from my broken heart's gaze
a broken picture in its fallen frame
Our story is shattered and empty days
fill to the brim of a
a bridge that has fallen,
Gone, good bye my love.
Dawn was colorless today
watching the sky lighten of more gray
Goodbye you say, I loved you anyway
A broken sigh that never ends
Tears of a soul tearing
I'll never be whole
without you curled in my arms
Without you I so loved,
Now a world of gray seeps over
while you forever sleep.
Cradles by Death's handle,
I fall and break
My chest is sick
Grief of the world
for I can no longer smile,
loneliness is beckoning
In the world's beyond
where you still roam
In the freedom from the death's claw
That killed you.
Someday perhaps
Dawn won't be
so gray...
