I'll Be There

Don't cry, my dear -
I know you're trying hard
not to suffocate in your
whirling seas and tumultuous storms

You managed to clear the
hazy fog away from the sky
after a storm of rain passed
down your face, and
you should be proud
that you won that fight

Even though you are now able to see
the distant specks of light at night,
somehow it's really hard
to move your heavy feet toward them,
and, god, even if no one else does,
I understand, girl

Don't worry your little head -
you will find your breath among
the stars littering the sky again
even if right now you don't know
which one you're supposed to be
chasing after

Though I know you're always
feeling that familiar warmth
seeping out of your eyes
and your eyesight getting blurry,
please, please don't
ever stop trying

Girl, I love you -
rotting petals and all,
so even if you're going to decompose,
I'm going to be by your side
until the very end
