(2014)
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.
Venturing into the unknown. The mind stops, terrified. Yet; the heart pushes forward, ever curious and hopeful.
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,
Dull, Worn, Scratched, And torn. An antique soul,
The peace you brought, It was misleading. Unknowingly, You sneak up, With your hypnotic dance.
Staying afloat, I’m ripped down again. Into the deepest abyss. With notice
Take this. This gift. An escape. Ever silent, Ever painless.
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..”
Learning to swim Uncharted waters; The walls. Barriers, Built over years.
There is no more pain, No more grief, Anger, Depression, Anxiety;
The love, The hatred, Going in circles. Like a train on set tracks, Around and around.
