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