No matter how much you've changed
Your shadow remains
The same

You're a shadow of your old self
But no matter how hard you try
You cannot escape it

Letting light shine in
Allows the old you
To come through

But surrounded by darkness
I no longer know
Who you are

So when that happens, I recite the mantra once more:

No matter how much you've changed
Your shadow remains
The same

Three days, they
surrounded with weeping eyes
and sorrowful hearts
acting, as if
they empathize

  Three days...three days,
full with concerned phone calls,
condolences cards and
encouraging words,
"stay strong," they said,
"they're in a better place" and,
"you have an angel in Heaven now"

who cares...

I'd
rather them here
with me, thoughts ran through
my head

Three days...three days...three days  

of sharing memories
and  
promises of
'gone but never forgotten'

...then ****
like...
houdini's magic,
everyone was gone and
life went on

from my
point of view
I'm the only one  
missing you

I  
dare  
they  
be
joyous

amidst, my hell on earth
  
I  
watched
through eyes  
that cried endless tears
day and night and what seemed  
like in between
while they...
lived
laughed
and  
loved

No one
can truly understand
until someone soul-deep in their heart dies
and rips their life apart
  
I realize this, cause
I didn't, until...
I
lived  
it.

Although a rain cloud
Now lies above my
Head

I know for a fact
A new angel's been
Bred
This one is dedicated to my uncle, who just lost his battle to cancer last night. RIP. Love and miss you.

It's so incredibly frustrating
How you drive me insane
Without even trying

Because when I look into your eyes
I see a galaxy of sparkling stars
I see wonder and mystery

But as I'm left awestruck
You see my eyes for what they really are:
A dull green color

It's sad:
We let
this tiny word
dictate entire
Lives.
