(2012)
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.
Take this. This gift. An escape. Ever silent, Ever painless.
A lifetime given, To a life now taken. A love now silenced, Will be forever deafening.
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..”
Dull, Worn, Scratched, And torn. An antique soul,
Watching the world. Paper, Plastic, Celebrity, Religion.
Just a simple thank you. Thank you for guiding me. For always being there, waiting. Greeting me.
Learning to swim Uncharted waters; The walls. Barriers, Built over years.
Staying afloat, I’m ripped down again. Into the deepest abyss. With notice
48 years of beautiful life, ended. 23 years of knowing you, ended. 13 years of caring for you,
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;
The love, The hatred, Going in circles. Like a train on set tracks, Around and around.
