My beautiful tragedy

And in a blink of an eye;
You were already gone
You left me no choice, but to unravel my soul with yours
Uttering silently the goodbye I wish I never had to feel.
 
I wish I knew in what dimensions you had escaped to;
Where is your aching soul?
A soul I had the privilege to undress,
And to see how pure and divine it truly was.
 
You were so beautifully broken;
Your mesmerizing shattered pieces were unbelievably sharp
Yet I wanted to touch every inch of them, to feel their honing
And to let my entwined soul suffer while drowning in the love I felt for you.
 
How could you tear my chapter in your story?
So smoothly and quickly.
While my sore soul had to burn in the fire you set before your unexpected departure,
Shattering down all pieces of my own.
 
Your burning flame made the only soul that I had fade away
Longing for a better ending,
Longing for a home
A home that I found in the folds of your tragic story.
 
In your cold and distant world, I was lucky to find my safe place,
A place I was able to call my own
Before your calamitous departure
That pushed my soul out of its own home, and to fly high up in the unknown.
 
And that night, when I will be touching the sky with my fingertips;
Smelling the smokey scent of the clouds,
When the breeze air embrace my whole body
Cleaning my soul from all irrationality and sins;
 
I will be calling your name from above,
Screaming silently the aching and the hurt you have caused me;
As you are hugging my grave, crying my death
Feeling every drop of woe;
 
I will reach down to feel one last breath of yours,
As your feeling my last breath,
Till my unconscious mind gives in, and I become part of the universe itself.
Leaving nothing behind but my unheard eulogy.
