One year life

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



I'm hesitant to say this
Because I know how much it pains
Your voice has blended in the wind
And its not been long since the stains

I'm hesitant to look for you
Because I know that you're not there
Just a replica of you
There wings fluffier than air

I'm hesitant because I heard your siren
And the cats were fighting in the yard
Crying on the morn
Screeching you were barred

I'm hesitant to grieve your life
That only lasts one year
As the winter lands its hand
Heavier than fear
