No words
Walking into your kitchen now bathed in shadow
So full of laughter and light not so long ago
The Piano once so loud and expressive
Now sits shrouded in its cover so pensive
Like a dog waiting for its owner
Midnight tears roll for the fallen
Silent tracks at the mercy of night
No questions or answers
Nor anger or fight
Only a shocked disbelief
No wrong or right

Their Despondency
Unity with emotion
Isolation dwells within the thoughts
Together in absence
Forsake me not
Passed down like heirlooms
but no care in the process made
No value within ourselves
A cycle broken, A cycle replaced
Disintegrate internally
No longer recognizing what's there
Merely splintered pieces
Uncomfortable for those aware
A quiet absolution for a quiete...

To The Moon and Back
The day you left the earth was far too soon.
You always said
“I love you to the moon and back”
You were my whole life
Now you’re just a memory in my mind
I think about you all the time.
I sit with your ghost
And think of the good times
It brings a tear to my eye
Each time I remember we never had
A proper goodbye
I look in the mirror
And see yo...

briefly
"briefly"
Morning’s borrowed light
slides in unasked,
a soft spill across the floorboards,
easy as breath on a cool pane.
Mourning’s borrowed light
comes barrowed in,
uncasked from whatever vessel
kept it sealed till now—
a gentle run that steadies
over the greaves the heart still wears
for the one who grieves,
a release that settles the chest,

I Lost My Mum in a Supermarket Once
I lost my Mum in a supermarket once,
I'll never do that again!
There I was, thrust into daily life,
so complacent that to see her
sometimes felt a chore.
I'll never do that again.
I had nightmares of her in pain
that seemed like they would never go away,
and they didn't,
nor do they still,
Relentless, again and again.
But I feel like such a twat.
Every time they say,
"So sorry f...

Sweet Menace
Thrown from my slumber into wake,
Heart pounding against my chest
As if my ribs are about to break
A dream; you with another sowed despair into my rest
The ceiling stares back at my sorry state
Tears quietly well up, rolling off my face
The universe undeniably choosing this fate
Tormenting my sorry soul, I pray to be erased
I did not know a love like this exists
