I Go Too

Beep. Beep. Beep.

“Uh, just.. Come back safe and strong, love.”

This was all I heard.

I replied, “I ain’t going anywhere!”

But my mouth wouldn’t open.

Lips were shut tight,

Whilst someone I loved more than life

Sat beside and cried.

A day later,

I heard someone say,

“The young man with this girl was found dead.”

“Suicide?!” “Yeah.”

They weren’t talking about him..

Or were they?

I couldn’t tell.

Yes, I could. He was worlds away.

No one came for me; I was a stranger.

Inexistent, disowned, unloved little me.

I didn’t want anyone to come;

Anyone, except him.

I waited, a day can be a tad long.

He never came.

They were talking about him, I was sure now.

The only one I loved.

Now, returning to the living?!

Sounds like a nightmare.

I knew it! I knew he’d think he did it.

I knew he’d think he was responsible.

I knew, I didn’t tell him about me.

Right time?

Such a time never came.

I couldn’t tell him, during our moments,

That I suffered from something that could kill me,

Unless he’s here with me.

Nope, can’t do; here’s what I can do.

Wherever he goes, I go too.

Beep.

“We’ve lost her.”
