We were in love, successful, and happy,
We had a graphic novel series and a hit CD.
We did everything together, I stood tall beside her,
Then some insecure scientist turned on their __LARGE__ particle collider.
Right was blue, and light was square, and time was east,
Now she's married to another man, and I got no teef!

I see you
Staggering
Your breath smells like a bar
I rush to your side
You push me away
You don’t want help
Your wasted lips
Clumsily dumping words
_“I’m fine... I’m good... I’m great...”_
They slur
You stumble
I steady you gently
I sit you down
I gaze into your drooping eyes
“I know you’re in pain
But, my darling,
This’ll only make it worse
I see you
I see your suffering
You’re not alone
Don’t run from your grief
You’ll never outrun yourself
No matter how many
Memories you drown”
You stare me dead in the eyes
_“I’m not running.
I’m just numbing the pain
Until it puts me in the grave.”_
And then I fear
I’ve lost you,
My love.
