Like You Poem by Dashaun Rashod Snipes Mister

Like you,
I long to stay low,
soft and dark
in a dreamless state
far beneath my nightmares
and the bitter loneliness
that consumes me.
I hate myself
for every breath I take
without you by my side
for I don't want to feel
anymore for you.
But even in my hatred,
my heart still grieves
for the loss of your love
and the emptiness it brings.
I'm not just grieving for you,
but for the pieces of myself
that I lost when you left.
Nothing can undo
the love we once shared
but I still find myself
clinging to the hope
that one day, somehow
we will find our way back to each other.
Lost in the darkness,
I stumble on this path
that leads straight to you.
And in my desperation,
I long to be like you,
to lie cold in the ground,
to be at peace and free
from the pain that haunts me.
But as I reach out
for a halo to guide me,
I am blinded by the wall
that separates us.
It melts away,
leaving us alone again,
with only the hum of memories
to keep us company.
Haunted by thoughts
of what could have been,
I still believe
that our love can see us through
even in death.
For even in our final resting place,
I long to be like you,
to lie cold in the ground,
to be reunited with you once more.
There's room inside for two,
in this cold and lonely grave.
And though I am not grieving
for myself,
I am coming for you,
my dear sister,
to keep you company
and to ease your solitude.
You may think you're alone,
but I am always with you,
no matter what they told you.
Beside you,
I'll stand forevermore,
like a shadow that never fades,
a bond that never breaks.
I long to be like you,
to lie cold in the ground
and feel the beating of your heart
beneath my own.
For in death,
we are finally together,
united once again
in an eternal embrace.
And as we rest
in silent bliss,
I know you remember me,
our laughter, our tears,
our memories that we hold dear.
For even in death,
our love remains,
a bond that even time cannot sever.
I long to be like you,
to lie cold in the ground,
to be reunited with you
in this final resting place.
There's room inside for two,
and I will not grieve
for myself,
for I am coming for you,
to keep you company,
to be with you,
forevermore.
