Hello
You are missed beyond measure
No matter when the hurt subsides
Rears its ugly head when one least expects it
Tears flow behind masks or dark shades
Just when it gets easier
Grief is horrible company
We will never forget or completely let go
Too many cliches to count yet more to create
The last said goodbyes need to be kept as Hellos
Turn around they are always looking for you and you them
Angels appear in different ways and forms
You might just recognize them

There is beauty
in these depths.

But you’d have
to drown
to see it.

A parched well
with little use.
A prison.
He’d fallen.

Clamber he must,
up a ladder
that had seen better days.

Each rung whispered
promises of salvation
and absolution.
If only they didn’t concede
to the weight that betrayed
his every step.

•••

He laid broken
and splintered.
Much like the ladder,
whose top rungs mocked
with the same song

but it’s too far,
too faint to hear.

.

The lonely silence vanishes
Sound, busting at the seams
Explosive tunes in general
Lean towards the extreme
The misguided youth
Now raise the roof
High above the beams
Resorting to
Visual proof
Found only in your dreams
