I held your head gently in my hand
And kissed your squidgy wet nose
My scent as near as near could be
To be felt from your head to your toes
I’m soothing you as the needle goes in
My racing heart breaking within
Too many things I want to say
But you’re already slipping away
I whisper I love you and kiss your ears
Holding back a floodgate of tears
Don’t be afraid my sweet beautiful boy
My saviour my comfort my purest joy
Your head still resting in my hand
Last breath taken it’s too much to stand
I kiss your eyes I kiss your ears
And wonder if I allayed all your fears
The floodgates open tears fall free
How is it possible to miss you already
My heart is fractured beyond repair
All the broken pieces lay everywhere
Your lifeless body half sprawled over me
As soon as I let go it’s finality
You’ve only been gone an hour or so
My soul aches more than you could know
This emptiness this awful gaping hollow
Is a difficult pill to have to swallow
I promise upon waking you’ll hear me say
“My handsome prince how are you today”
I’m sorry our love got taken away
It’s being saved up for another day
We’ll meet again of that I’m sure
And be together forever more
