The sad day was soon to come
When voices forever fall dumb
The bell will chime but one last time
And I recall that last sad mime

To write a speech I was requested
Or at least it was suggested
but on looking back all that I saw
was shadow memories, ever raw
Happy times it seemed had faded
Smiles not again paraded
Since I was a child of six
And what happened then betwixt

Twenty-three years had passed
And the thought made me aghast
Because through the time I could not recall
Happy memories at all
Threads of memory imbued with sadness
Even better times I still felt downcast
For you are a family of five, and I am one alone
With no place to call a true home

I have lost something that I never had
Could I really be so bad?
The collages show the five of you smiling out from luxury
The five of you, but never me
Holidays to far-flung places
Happy looks upon your faces

Where are my shared memories?
Dig through the ephemories
Now they will never be
From the blacksheep of the family, following the funeral of a father-who I wish had actually wanted me at some point over twenty-three years-and never really did.
Now I must decide whether to retain painful contact with the rest of the family (a route to depression) or to dissolve further contact
The skies talk back at me sometimes
They tell me, you're with them
I know you're in a better place
That puts a smile on my face
Your looking down at us, proud to see
Who your children have become
Hoping one day we would meet
The marvelous day you'll return
Or the day I'll meet you there
Till that day, you're in my prayers
And we keep fighting all our fears
We don't give up we persevere
Trying my best to be the best
Thank you pops for being my motivation

Happy fathers day.
Love, Moore
Happy father's day

Cold,
Wet,
Rememberance,
Flowing,
Silence,
Deafaning.

Rain,
Everything we need and don't,
Good and bad,
Memories we want to remember but also ones we want to forget.
Last night I committed Armed robbery
Which isn't unusual, really
It's how I get by
But it's horrible when you sacrifice yourself for your friends
And they leave you out to dry

Shows you who your real friends are, right?
They'd rather take your cut and get high
Calling a thousand times to no reply,
******* guys,
See if you look the same now in my eyes
You ******* cowards
You left me to die
And I'll remember that when you call and cry
"Oh, Ronnie, loan me some money, I really need it"
And I'll say
"Remember when you left me to get shot?
******* punk, beat it!"

You're all lucky I don't come back with my gun
And blast you ******* away
There will be nowhere left to run,
And this dog will have his day
I won't sleep with the sun
Till I get my ******* pay
Inspired by recent events
Arranged elegantly, decorated with babies breath
Is the face of a girl that joined the ranks of death
Every where, she wore a smile
To help a friend would walk a mile
She’d connect with how you feel,
Always down to keep it real
She’d give you her last meal
Before she let you starve

I knew her since I was about eleven,
Now she stands at the gates of Heaven
And I can only imagine the look on Gods face
When she stepped into His grace
Redefining “Angel face”
For those she left behind
In the wake of suicide
Always on our minds
Since came her time..
I had a friend commit suicide about a week ago and its really been bothering me. She was my first friend in this town, she meant a lot to me...
