On one hand
It's one of those days
I fail to string a sentence together
But on the other
I'll form a line
And hang this old birthday banner
And celebrate
The day my head is silent
Soon is the time
We'll have to say our final goodbyes
Just another mear chapter in life
But I've written down and memorised mortal moments we shared
Immortalised and sealed
To be posted down the line
I know you never got to greet with smiles
But my sister, Your granddaughter
Is expecting her first child
Soon is the time
I'll have to say my first hello
Just another mear sign of time passing by
Life isn't a enemy to anyone
But the dead
You're my graveyard
A safe place to rest
Where I never feel alone
Staring at these walls for so long The only expression I could form
Was has blank as them
Because they couldn't see
What I could hide
Behind photo framed smiles
Cracks subside but never die
I won't lie to you
Like I lie to them
Because I believe your eyes
When you tell me
I can overcome the symptoms I'm harbouring
I can see your eyes
Tearing up with dust
You've triped from grace far too many times
The rest of you
Has fallen Though the floor
Your finger nails clinging onto old accolades and awards
As your feet lay under floorboards
The teeth inside my head
Swollowed
And overdosed on doubt
Clamping my jaw shut
The only thing that poured out
Was oxygen
Escaping my lungs
Adding fuel
To a already bitter furnace
Inflating a over indulged balloon
