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