When you left, Your voice was always there. In the house, On the street. Everywhere.
Dull, Worn, Scratched, And torn. An antique soul,
Staying afloat, I’m ripped down again. Into the deepest abyss. With notice
The peace you brought, It was misleading. Unknowingly, You sneak up, With your hypnotic dance.
Watching the world. Paper, Plastic, Celebrity, Religion.
Just a simple thank you. Thank you for guiding me. For always being there, waiting. Greeting me.
Venturing into the unknown. The mind stops, terrified. Yet; the heart pushes forward, ever curious and hopeful.
There is no more pain, No more grief, Anger, Depression, Anxiety;
A lifetime given, To a life now taken. A love now silenced, Will be forever deafening.
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,
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.
Take this. This gift. An escape. Ever silent, Ever painless.
Learning to swim Uncharted waters; The walls. Barriers, Built over years.
