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