Staring at the ceiling.

The ***** crack.

No sleep.

Feeling numb.

Arm outstretched.

Rip.
A friend.

In the quiet of familiar places,
We feel the space you once filled,
A gentle ache that lingers on,
A friendship time can’t still.

Old friend, now part of the past,
Your laughter echoes, faint but true,
A whisper in the wind’s soft breath,
Always bringing thoughts of you.

“Sometimes you hit the bar, sometimes the bar hits you,”
You’d say with a grin, wise and wry.
Your words linger like a toast raised high,
A reminder of how you lived, unafraid to try.

Though years may dim the memories,
And days stretch long and wide,
You remain within our hearts,
A presence by our side.

Missed, yet never far away,
Your light continues to stay.

RIP
Leigh
Lost to soon. Will always cherish every moment.

I don’t remember much of them.
That was my “early  period”.
Then I got pregnant.
And terminated the poet.

Dear Charles
babygirl45 Jan 24
My memories are what I have left,
and a lesson I will not forget.

The time has come when time is no more
and all that's left was once before.

The memories so dear and true,
those memories of me and you.

Although we fell and stumbled at times,
all those hills were necessary climbs.

All the times when your heart shined through
are the greatest memories I have of you.

I will always remember you, brother of mine.
In my heart I will keep you, so I will be fine.

I will go forward with my head up high.
It might be hard, I cannot lie.

But in my heart you will be,
moving forward, you with me.
Rip Charles Edward Evans you went to soon bro you was only 22 years olds

I can’t go to places that remind me of you
Knowing that familiarity is gone
Returning a little wiser
A little sadder
Lingering in a certain spot to get a feel of what’s left
I used to listen to my heart
But I can’t rely on it anymore
So now my mind plays tricks on me
I thought I saw you walking on campus the other day
And in the dining hall
And in the car that passed me
Hell
Even in my rear-view mirror
I heard you in my best friend’s laugh
And your criticism in that song you hate
I’ve fallen in love with a ghost
Scenarios burden my conscious
Romanticizing a lie
I make excuses for why you’re gone
Why you ignore me
That it’s my fault
I want to remedy this disconnect
But I don’t want to change
If you’ve given up on me
Someone told me that you see what you want to see
I guess that makes me a masochis t
Because seeing you is pain
And I keep looking for you
I still see you
Knowing you’re not here

They may say there is no God

Proof

My friend asked
I said

Thats the queen i bet if u run her over she dies...
I bet him 10 million $

Im not from here

I owe him 10 mill
He ran her over
The queen died


Pray for my sins
Giant land is manhattan
Safety when i sleep
Heaven gates
Please accept me
I begun something no compare
I might die right now
They want me gone....

He died here
And his soul
Says, with the
Sky,
"Look away
Child, avert
Your eyes,
From these
Continuous
Atrocities
You are
Powerless to
Change.

Look to the
Colors ive
Painted high
Those who
Could, will
Never help"
We admire
The sunset
And search
The astral
Instead.
The History: I sat where he was hit for a while, they say I shouldn't be upset, I didn't watch him die, I was merely there for the precursors to the event. How is that any better? I look away from the crosswalk, to my left. I see the sky painted the most gorgeous sunset each time I miss him. I weep, because this was all entirely preventable and everyone just looked away when something could have been done months in advance, after I said something. Now nothing can bring him back, and they just don't think about it.
