TRIBUTE

Barren land, 

Everything seems dry, even the air that i breathe.

Would have killed myself at the mere thought of this years back,

But today my fingers will have to write a tribute to you on this trip you've embarked on.

You left without a goodbye,

Or maybe a goodbye wouldn't have helped my pain.

The dreams we both had are all gone.

How can I live on my own?

How can I love again?

The stars have lost their shine.

The sun has gone dim.

My life's shattered.

My heart now knows the bitter taste of sadness.

I never expected you would let go of me.

I wish I can kill death.

I wish I can stab bitterness.

I wish I can drown pain,

Never to let it float.

But you are gone, and I'm alone.

Alone to face this world 

A world that seems so crushed.

Like butterfly you flew away,

Leaving your fragnace over me

I wish I can have one more dance with you,

One more dinner with you,

Just One more chat with you,

Because all this "more" will add up to forever if you hadn't left

I will miss you,

We will miss you,

And I hope you have a perfect rest over there.
