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
