Poem: I Would Die Without You

The skies are gray 

The sun in slumber 

I go to your page 
And I’m left to wonder 

Your last written word
An ache of the heart 
A melancholy verse 
Right from the start 

The last line stood out 
“I would die without you”
An emptiness surrounds 
Could these words be true

You bared your heart 
You shed all the pain
Your body was found 
An angel we gained 
 
Is there a connection  
Did you die for the one 
You could not be with 
But could not be without
