I saw you this evening
You came out of nowhere
Your face looked angelic
With a glow in your hair

I held you close to me
And said not a word
The silence was eerie
The noise was absurd

I saw your eyes well up
I felt your heart die
I sank as well
When you started to cry

You left in an instant
As the sun broke
It beamed in my window
As I awoke

I searched long and hard
My eyes filled with tears
I cried like a baby
Because you are not here

-Jonathan Cullifer
