Without a trace
                              Without a face
A name no longer used
           Eyes that are no longer met
                     Hands that don't feel
   Ears that don't hear
              Leaving no memories
  Leaving no legacy
             Is that what it means to be
        Forgotten?
Are you forgotten? How would you even tell?

today it feels the same
and i won't break the chain
today I'm safe as I can be
but I know I won't get free
today the clouds aren't gone
and yet I know you'll come
I know but I won't believe
the pain in me is hard to relieve
it's hard to picture your eyes
but you're not like the other guys
tell me it won't feel the same
and that it's not me to blame

Paper rats in the walls.

& Like the life previous.
I sense them once more.
Clawing at the inside of my brain.
Turning.
Everything.
But the floor.
They wine in cancerous heat upon my door.
& Leave my wall into a galaxy of a corpse.

On fire in the front row.
And her kiss had to throw me.

for every day I miss you
every breath one too many,
every thought one too deep,
each touch further away from you,

please don't go,

I love you

I need you to be here..
I need you to accompany me..
I need you to hold me..
I need you to cheer me up...

Even though the whole world knows that I am strong..
You know that I'm actually weak..
that's why I need you...

I need you to be here..
Even though this distance is never close..
Come here and reach my hand..
Take my love away..
So that I am always close to you
I need you

I know you don't see me
I know even if you could, you wouldn't look
But I'll wave goodbye anyway.
Simon Soane Dec 2019
Last 25th you were all life
and your voice mirrored the bells at the start of the day;
ringing with joy
and hope,
so it's only natural you'll be missed in these hours:
no you heard
in a multitude of sound,
a million plates laid at the table and still
everyone asks
where you are;
a billion lights search for a star.
Yes, you left quite the impression,
as if anything else possible;
and we'll always remember you,
always raise you in a cheer,
especially at
this
time
of year.

For Sara.

You've lost all you've caught.
& what you've got is not your senses.
Not your lights.
Not your couch.
Not your fences.
Written on your face.
Says all is nothing.
& tasteless.
What's it to grace.
& hope.
When your atoms greet the pavement.
From a thousand feet up.




Garrett Johnson.
Perhaps it's the color of the universe.
