I was alone
I was scarred and harming myself
Then you came

A candle light in the dark tunnel
A way out of despair
A ray of hope

Now I fight myself
Unsure my feelings
The unknown

Now I sit on the green grass
The beautiful sky perfect
But I sit alone

Alone in the light
Alone in a painting
Alone
In life

Was our conversations real
Or were they
Just a dream?
Unexpected
You came in swiftly
But causing panic in those that understood
Despite what we tried
We were no match for you
And with final death cries
Of clearly agony
You took him
Leaving us with a body
Dry of any soul

Why death?
Why did you have to take him in my hands?
Why must I bear this weight now?
The phone is silent
The email does not ping
Nothing breaks the void

Her voice powerful
Her mind a raging fire
But her mouth stays closed

As time slips by
Tick tock
Oh look, another minute has passed
Your words are sweet
Your intentions kind
You strive to make me laugh

But the smile hides the tears
The laugh hides the sobs
Of my heart shattering against the wall

A love I know
A love that is real
A love that can never be
Simple action
And I'm out for weeks

My body complaining
With every movement I make

Throw me in a brace
Give me meds to take

Each on only showing
What damage I have done

Maybe one day
My body won't pop

Maybe one day
My body won't seize

Maybe one day
My body won't hurt anymore
Stroke here
Dip there
Wash over

Each placement having purpose
Each color having meaning
The design carefully crafted

To paint
To draw
To imagine

Is being able to see
More then what just
The world's sees
On the surface level
Maybe today will be good
Maybe today something will change
Maybe
Just maybe
