Since You've Been Gone

I am undeniably sad 
Consumed by dismay
I am angry at the world
Out of sight & in shadows, I stay 
My stomach churns wild 
A tempest inside 
At what my life has wrought 
I am consumed with fear
But I've nowhere to hide
Lurches and churns, but I have nothing to hurl 
My life is just nauseous with strife 
I've become stricken with worry, 
For my exhausting life 
I turn rapidly now 
In a relentless descent 
I am a mere product of my grief 
And in silence, I lament

Today And Yesterday

Since that morning, and this morning, and every day and night that may have passed, I have tried but pitifully failed to keep myself from crying uncontrollably every day. I find myself having to adjust a little more to the fact that you are gone and you were gone before even being given the chance to make a mark on this world & show everyone what you would have grown to be capable of. I know this is a part of life but it is not supposed to be a part of life that so frequently people see, because it just overwhelms us with profound grief, destroying our lives,  but sometimes we just pretend that we are fine again today as much as the day before. 

Today I miss you 
I sit in the living room 
To see your photos

The Next Step

What am I to feel now 
That my tears have dried up
And my sorrow is in a deep sleep
Wrapped in a blanket 
Soaked heavy with bitterness and doubt 
I lie on the floor and it invites my weight
It's chill offered solace 
For a heart that is now weary
And lying flat where grief has consumed 

What haunts me is the decision 
To shatter this porcelain bond 
Or cling to this mask , tightly 
In a play with no audience
Where vows hang like ghosts 
And desires endlessly echo 
Through our abandoned halls of love 

Meanwhile the truth
Raw and hideous
Whisper secrets too hard to hold 
Filling silences with dread 
The way nightmares come true
And each of your breaths a reminder
Of empty spaces that are left 
Where passion once did linger 
But since has fled from our lives 

What am I supposed to do now
When walking feels like sleeping 
Reaching out for you leads me 
To only nothingness
And dreams unravel, frayed 
In the dark corners of my mind 
Where I search for remnants 
But only find shards of pain

Summer Trip

We paused for a snack 
And threw them all back 
Got in the car 
But didn't drive very far 
We stopped down the street 
At a ducked away park 
We took off our shoes
And played in the creek before dark 
Things started to get wavy 
And I started feeling crazy 
Because I started paying attention 
To this particularly noticeable ant 
He sized me up under a leaf 
He wanted to fight , I said, "I can't"
Amazed by mother nature 
Making insects speak to me 
Mind boggling me with 
 crazy things, unnaturally 
We ran through the grass 
Back under the pavilion over the hill 
In awe at some birds 
That couldn't seem to be still 
We watched as they circled around us in twos
Eyes dancing with their wings, and the reds and the blues 
Of the colors they displayed
As they flew around us in a circle 
I think I might have even caught a glimpse 
Of a pretty blue violet or purple 
I turned my attention 
To the point of the ceiling 
And I started to get
An uneasy feeling 
The birds had a nest 
Up in between the wood and it's cracks 
And I told my friend 
I thought they might be trying to attack 
First an ant, now these birds 
We must be disturbing their homes 
But we were so high and didn't understand
Would've been best to have left them alone 
Somehow at some point 
We made it back into the car 
And drove back to my friend's house 
But it seemed to be so far 
We must have drove around for hours 
I don't know how we weren't swerving in the street 
I was on cloud 9, she was so high in the air 
And we couldn't feel anything under our feet 
Safely, thankfully, we made it back 
Physically made it anyways
But for my mind to come back from this trip 
Had afterwards, took me days 
We never stopped laughing 
The whole way there 
I don't think we really ever made it 
But I don't even care 
The whole time was so good 
And yet again I had felt 
It WAS possible, if even for a moment 
For all of the calamity to melt 
Away from my life 
And no longer be there 
The feeling of living overwhelmed us 
And I didn't have to care 
As this adventure had come to a close 
We started to see things in ways 
I don't think either of us knows
These Halloween decorations 
That were still hung on the wall 
Started laughing their butts off 
And I thought they might fall 
Onto my face , because I laid underneath 
So I turned myself around 
So they would only fall onto my feet 
I don't exactly remember
Anything else about the end 
Because I'm still on that trip 
With one of my best friends
