You were blameless and sweet
The night you died,
And when you stopped moving,
I couldn't breathe.
I'm drowning in air,
drowning in air
because you're gone-
gone away nowhere
Abandoned so early,
Left all alone,
Buried yourself in the world,
To make you a home.
I'm drowning in air,
drowning in air
because you're gone-
gone away nowhere
You were my home;
Orphaned, we two,
Missing mothers,
And fathers too.
I'm drowning in air,
drowning in air
because you're gone-
gone away nowhere
We claimed each other,
Reclaimed lost souls,
But you've gone away
And mine’s a hole.
I'm drowning in air,
drowning in air
because you're gone-
gone away nowhere

This poem really touches the heart. It portrays a feeling of grief for the loss of a love one. Drowning in air makes one feel like they are being overwhelmed when they lose someone that was very dear to them. Nicely written.
