How many funerals of ones self can someone have before there is nothing left Don't answer It's rhetorical anyway Funeral number 1 A piece of her hair A symbol of when they would stop and stare At her hair When they would make her life a living nightmare Until she became too aware Until It became too much to bear Until she silenced...

It lingers. Not on the lips. Lower. In the fiber of the tongue, in the spasming depths of fear, where words no longer light paths, but only fester in ancestral silences, like icons submerged in sacred rubble, beneath the cracked beams of a church welded shut from within, where even devils can no longer enter. Parting is not spoken. It is torn between teeth, swallowed...

When you began to spend more time with friends, some of whom you wouldn’t name, night after night, did you never feel you had reason to...

It wouldn't be the first time we said goodbye. It wouldn't be the last time You made me cry. All that I want is gone you left me here to die. All that I've longed for is gone you never said goodbye It should have been the last thing you ever did You slit my wrists and stole my kids. LET ME GO!...

It was a somber cloudy day, sadness weighed heavy on us all. The family gathered to pay final respects. Gregorian chant filled the air as we looked up to heaven. We were burying a good man. He had been a role model, a loving husband and a caring father. the finality painfully sinking in goodbyes surreal...

Even when the sky is cracked and grey, Adoring arms can’t hold what’s meant to part. Ghosts of your voice dissolve into the day, Left behind, a hollowed aching heart. Oceans of grief drown the words unsaid, Fractured time blurs love into decay. Grief gnaws softly where our dreams have fled, Memories fade like ghosts at bay. Days pass, but the ache still...

I saw him in the corridor — my mind stopped for a moment, all my emotions rushing back, stunned, yet I kept walking. Once I was away, I crossed a wall — and broke down, tears flowing down my cheeks, words unsaid I couldn’t hold. I wanted to stay, to hold on to him, but I needed to go — to let go for my peace. I saw...

She believed her Barbie's and Ken's had shared a love far more complex than any feelings they'd expressed -- AND dolls couldn't even self-dress!!! She knew they were a mistake - one she wanted them to address. Her thoughts led to a request - they both take a fear of change test. Pleased to speak free, she confessed being a part...

My family It's time to fly And so, I know I'll say goodbye My dear beloved While I did try My love I know I'll say goodbye All that is fine I don't know why Must always go I'll say goodbye As fire and flames Reign from the sky Far down below I'll say goodbye And while I say It's time to die I'll say hello You'll say goodbye...

(Verse 1) I remember the chill in the air, When you said goodbye, like you didn’t care. Your words cut deep, left me bare, But I stayed silent, pretending I was fine. You walked away, said you needed space, That freedom would bring you back to grace. But in your eyes, I saw a trace Of something we couldn’t leave behind. (Pre-Chorus) I thought I’d...

Coal-brown smoke smudged lightly with hesitant fingers into the wet grey sky at the edges, a yellowing of dried grass scattered with copper berries fallen from their vines, a leaf spinning crazily on a breeze, a tentative parting of fingertips and a face turned slightly from mine – a profile obscured by dark hair – and eyes scan and count the pylons for something to do. The...

So many friends came to say goodbye Remember the good times, not going to cry You were such a part of everyone you knew A special someone for everything that makes up you Hard to accept that you are no longer here Keep waiting for the moment when you reappear It really hit me, hearing the songs you wrote Nobody else could...
