(2014)
Watching the world. Paper, Plastic, Celebrity, Religion.
The words spoken By them. Knowingly sly and spiteful. So cold. So calculated.
48 years of beautiful life, ended. 23 years of knowing you, ended. 13 years of caring for you,
Learning to swim Uncharted waters; The walls. Barriers, Built over years.
Just a simple thank you. Thank you for guiding me. For always being there, waiting. Greeting me.
Cowardice. Seeking comfort from chemicals. Not facing what I ought to face, Terrified. “..I was blind, but now I see..”
Venturing into the unknown. The mind stops, terrified. Yet; the heart pushes forward, ever curious and hopeful.
Emptiness. A void in his very being He tries to fill. Drugs, sex,
The love, The hatred, Going in circles. Like a train on set tracks, Around and around.
Dull, Worn, Scratched, And torn. An antique soul,
There is no more pain, No more grief, Anger, Depression, Anxiety;
The peace you brought, It was misleading. Unknowingly, You sneak up, With your hypnotic dance.
A lifetime given, To a life now taken. A love now silenced, Will be forever deafening.
Staying afloat, I’m ripped down again. Into the deepest abyss. With notice
When you left, Your voice was always there. In the house, On the street. Everywhere.
