This Is For You. Poem by Sarah Perron

It is no longer possible to sleep;
i need you next to me.

I can no longer dream;
without hearing your voice guiding me through sleep.

I can no longer love:
I gave you my heart.

Life is no longer possible;
because you had breathed life into me.

We had once made eachother whole,
yet i left you in pieces.

I owe you my world,
could you accept my mere apology ?

I can only hope that someday,
when my skin is wrinkled, and my heart is stone;
I can rebuild myself, teach myself to live, and once agian love, without giving it away.

Until then,
the thought of what i crushed;
will forever haunt me.
