For you

For you

A Poem by Julianna Marie

I created heaven for you--
with the last strength left in my bones,
and the last breath left in my lungs.
Complete with pearly gates that reach the stars,
I hand-crafted a golden key just for you--
a simple way into heaven, without having to stand outside,
waiting for your judgement, watching your life.
A simple way into heaven, without having to stand outside,
waiting for me, watching your life without me.
When you arrive,
I'll be waiting--
just please don't be too long.

I created heaven for us--
an escape from reality,
where the clouds dance
and our problems look like ants--
we are floating,
we are together,
we are happy.
My wings are strong enough for the both of us,
your halo will light the way:
it's time for us to finally escape.

I created heaven for you--
pure, radiant, warm;
it embodies all of the characteristics
I love about you.
My strength is gone,
my lungs have collapsed...
where are you?
I built it, 
why haven't you come?
