no
one
cares
unless
you've
got that
gun right
up against
your skull.





**(c) 2014 jude rigor

for you, a simple silence
save sadness, anger, shame.
found shelter from emotions
that roared like hurricanes

for you, a simple silence
without the thirst for more
just a fleeting breeze consisting
of one i once adored

in the peace and in the quiet
i lay down my weary head
inhale cherry blossoms pink
exhale despair and dread

in the peace and in the quiet
each forward step anew
and though i'll journey far away
i'll always carry part of you

someday i'll
fall asleep
to the sound
of your heartbeat.

dusting stars across
a galaxy
that never wanted
you in the first place.
