The life being stripped from their eyes
Their souls on the ferry to the afterlife
At the moment death has you too
Has you riding the ferry of grief
Staying aboard as if you live there
Each room a living nightmare
Each room a feeling you can’t escape
Many visit the ferry of grief but few leave
Many believe they have escaped but no one truly escapes the void left when you lose that someone special
No one can escape the numbness  once you remember you never got to say goodbye
Remembering their soul is on another ferry never coming back
But as many say “nothing last forever”
Not the hugs, laughs, late night talks, or the promises that lay in the air wishing for them to come true
If any of us had one wish it would be to relive every memory with them
To ride the ferry of life with them one last time
