\"\"<\/p>\n

Without you my dear, I am nothing and no one,<\/p>\n

You made me the person that I am today,<\/p>\n

Reminding me of who I eventually want to be,<\/p>\n

Without you, I am carcass waiting for the vultures.<\/p>\n

As I smell the acrid stench of your body burning,<\/p>\n

So do my hopes and dreams I had for my future,<\/p>\n

A broken arm, yet I’m still feeling phantom pains,<\/p>\n

Your passing is not an easy toll to bear, my dear.<\/p>\n

I will always beg and crave for you with every molecule,<\/p>\n

A brave soul who didn’t hesitate to stand up for us all,<\/p>\n

To everyone who needed it, so just and fair,<\/p>\n

I will always miss you, my basic human rights\u2026<\/p>\n
