It was more than the cancer that took you,
it was more than the second hand smoke,
it was more than a wasted green crayon,
it was more than a heart that time broke.

I lit bones, flesh, and tears on fire,
all I've done I have done it for you,
hoping that the eyes that stare down from the Heavens
ever cry the same way that I do.

And one day I will drown in the Ocean
that nested in the white of your eyes
and its sirens will braid my veins together
and will sing the prettiest lullabies.

You said "Seestern, you'll never be alone"
yet I'm lost in this bed, in these sheets.
The bread crumbs you left for me to follow
I sold for pixie dust in the streets.

I love the ghost that you've left behind, just like I loved you.
All my work belongs to me. Any violation of my privacy [sharing without consent, plagiarism] will face legal consequences.
I hope you enjoy my work.
