raindrops.

she was so tired of leaving words unspoken
in remembrance of she, i can stand up
and smear across memories all that i feel should be

...heard.

speak easy
speak strong
speak neither short nor long
just speak what is natural
fall from your lips
like raindrops
or a kiss

the sky cried for you
and left my life damp with no umbrella
no protection from a life understanding
that now...we had the lack of
your eyes quietly blinking past the minutes
that i forgot to appreciate more
when you were around

there are no apologies left to say
nor were there any in the first place
either way
you sleep soundly beneath my feet
each time i give you a bouquet of roses
because even when you cease to breathe
you still deserve that...

i have come to understand
that your beauty knows no bounds
knows no life nor death
it lives beyond trees
and speaks louder than words
it speaks so easily
so strongly
neither short nor long
it is so amazingly natural

it made raindrops fall from my eyelids
and i blew a kiss to the wind
to say my last goodbye, my dearest friend...



rest.in.peace. my little, but bigger, sister
