Dying Beautiful

lament seeps from between
 blood soaked lips
 forgiveness for myself never
 seemed so distant
 my heart still beats and longs
 for your presence
 (your) silent cries resonate in
 my head
 a life full of beauty taken within
 the first few beats
 how can I give you anything
 when everything is already gone
 forever this scar will burn me like fire
 go now without summer breezes
 and playgrounds
 may grace guide you with
 wings and halo
 trembling as your sacrifice cuts
 through me
 could I ever comprehend the beauty
 that could have been
 life in its most perfect form
 untainted by the ways of this world
 pure and dependent, cries leave me
 with a permanent echo
 for what you have lost Andrew will be
 an inspiration that lasts a lifetime
 what has been taken from you can
 never be replaced
 but what you have given me can never
 be taken
 see you in heaven
