(2014)
There is no more pain, No more grief, Anger, Depression, Anxiety;
Dull, Worn, Scratched, And torn. An antique soul,
Take this. This gift. An escape. Ever silent, Ever painless.
The words spoken By them. Knowingly sly and spiteful. So cold. So calculated.
The peace you brought, It was misleading. Unknowingly, You sneak up, With your hypnotic dance.
The love, The hatred, Going in circles. Like a train on set tracks, Around and around.
Watching the world. Paper, Plastic, Celebrity, Religion.
Emptiness. A void in his very being He tries to fill. Drugs, sex,
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..”
48 years of beautiful life, ended. 23 years of knowing you, ended. 13 years of caring for you,
A lifetime given, To a life now taken. A love now silenced, Will be forever deafening.
When you left, Your voice was always there. In the house, On the street. Everywhere.
Staying afloat, I’m ripped down again. Into the deepest abyss. With notice
Learning to swim Uncharted waters; The walls. Barriers, Built over years.
