I just feel you

A whisper touch..

Not sinister

Or weird.

But the first time,

I take your hand in mine..

You're dead.

Cold but soft..

Or is it warm,

The fingers, now blue.

I've never seen you,

I just feel you.

As I hold your hand under the sky.

You trusted someone?

Or did he lie?

The darkness under your lashes..

I fail to find

The reason

Why you died.

Pale face and

Still frame

A stationary wind..

I've never seen you

I just feel you.

The time when death grinned..

The metal

Strikes the mud.

Your new home.

Your eyes will rest

In silence

.. Till unknown.

The willow weeps

For the

Souls of the neglected.

I've never seen you,

I just feel you.

As I let go of your hand.. Verdict accepted.
