Mathew James

Tarnished soul

Dull,
Worn,
Scratched,
And torn.
 
An antique soul,
So young,
Yet so tarnished -
The strongest acid couldn’t bring it
Back to its original state.

(2014)

You

The words spoken By them. Knowingly sly and spiteful. So cold. So calculated.
Your voice.

When you left, Your voice was always there. In the house, On the street. Everywhere.
Never ending cycle.

The love, The hatred, Going in circles. Like a train on set tracks, Around and around.
Emptiness

Emptiness. A void in his very being He tries to fill. Drugs, sex,

Deafening Silence

A lifetime given, To a life now taken. A love now silenced, Will be forever deafening.

A simple thank you.

Just a simple thank you. Thank you for guiding me. For always being there, waiting. Greeting me.
Beginning the journey.

Venturing into the unknown. The mind stops, terrified. Yet; the heart pushes forward, ever curious and hopeful.
Unanswered questions

48 years of beautiful life, ended. 23 years of knowing you, ended. 13 years of caring for you,
A gift.

Take this. This gift. An escape. Ever silent, Ever painless.
