Friend
Always the friend
A little like the bridesmaid
But never the bride
Chase never to be had
Yet breadcrumbs leave a trail for who?
Signals always flashing
For the led lights are always red
Shoulders are soft yet strong
But only used to carry the burden
Smile misread for friends
And only used to cheer you up
Eyes forever lowered
So the heart shan’t peak beyond eyelashes
Voice always quivers
But whispers words to set the tone
Blame I have only me
it’s easier than to hurt again
A little bit of me
I can see you’re bored
Now that makes three
You took the fork road
Of where angels don’t sleep
Biggest mistake
Now you sow what you reap
But there’s a way out
You know of those strings
To pull when they’re showing
Your itch is still growing
So scratch that and tug
No you’re not a lug
Go on if you dare
Without a care
Of whom you trod on
I know I’ve been wrong of
The ones you have met
And now I regret
I’m sorry…
It’s been 10 years
Since you took your last breath
So many unspoken words
sad memories you left
I wish how I wish
I had been stronger with you
And defied your reasonings
Of no medicine you choose
You’ve missed your grandchildren’s
Graduations and plays
You’ve missed youngest daughter
Is starting to grey
We’re wrinkling and sagging in places
And parts
We’re growing old without you
All seemingly apart
The circle was broken
The only kindness we knew
That wretched woman
Is still alive
And still without a clue
Your eldest grandchild has
Your heart of gold
He’ll soon be leaving for
America so bold
I wish you were here
To soften the blows
To hold my hand as I too
Grow old
I’m neither beautiful nor plain
Neither obtuse nor insane
Opposite of thin nor fat
No clean lines nor abstract
I’m afraid of creepy black
Love the night insomniac
Dotted stars glitter through
But mostly I love you
Still
It’s all so still
Silent cold and grey
Broken
Broken I feel
Hurting shattered betrayed
Automatic
Autopilot keep smiling and stay
Feeling
Feel nothing invisible ghostly frayed
Black
Blackened soul deep within dead
Glass
See right through fragile mind Always dread
Nothing
Just space
No words
No trace
Quiet
Think
Stop
Drink
Silence
Pursed lips
Blank eyes
Drink
No noise
Outside
Silent tongue
Still mind
Swaying trees
No breeze
Shhhh
Drink
Red
Death
GoneNo sun
Only one
No song
Ghost words of the imaginings
