Origin Story

Everyhero has an origin story
some event
Some happenstance
Some tragedy that transforms them
Into a force
That may one day save the world
But I was not the hero of my story
My hero breathes no more
All I have loved
All I have known
All I have been
Stopped with his heartbeat
And I wish
I could feel his arms around me
And I wish
he would snore in my ear
And I wish
he were playing video games
while I try to sleep
And I wish
I could hear him complain
about me playing my music
too
loud
And I wish
I could hold his hand
And sit by the waterfall
And dream about the future together
But I laid in bed last night
Frozen in the spot he always sat
And did not know how I would survive without him
And as I stared into silence
The light of sunrise filled the window
And I did not know
the fate of the day to come
So I lit another candle to my love
And began to pray
But
I COULD NOT BREATHE
WHY?!
I asked God
Have you caused me so much sorrow
And in the stillness
I heard my love whisper
Your pain will heal others
Your voice will soothe others
Your tears will let them know
They are not alone in their sorrow.
THIS IS YOUR ORIGIN STORY.
