In your cold absence,
I have forgotten what
the word warmth meant

Perhaps you were  
the word warmth

But now, you are
the word silence

I talk to you,
but you do not talk back
Ode to River Phoenix. This poem is inspired by the campfire scene from My Own Private Idaho which was written by River himself.

Empty

Raven Blue
Everyday is a torture for me.
Everytime I wake up I don't feel anything.
Yes, I laugh, I cry and get angry;
But that was all empty.
I laugh for nothing;
I cry for nothing;
I get angry for nothing.
People may think I'm crazy;
But no, I just feel empty.
If you'd ask me why,
Then I'm sorry;
I can't answer it, because I also don't know.
I just feel empty;
Empty, empty, empty.

We met by chance
We parted by choice

We loved completely
We still let it end

We lived with regret
We tried to reconnect

We failed
It sometimes happens that way....I figure it wasn't meant to be.  So no regrets.

there's something about you
something so beautiful and powerful,
yet so evil and scary

you come and you go
texting when you're bored
and leaving as you please

you have a noose around me,
you know?

you keep me close
but always let go
and every time you come and go

the noose gets tighter
and tighter
tighter
tighter

You are near,
Even when I don't
see you.
You will always be with me,
even when you
are far away.

Please don't lock the door,
I know that you're at war,
But let me in and share,
I really do care.
