"meaningly" poems
Mischievous secrets
Softly screamed in my ear
Anger surging
And racing through me
Voices no on else can hear
Crying out in my mind
Revealing truths
Sheding light on shadows
Soul cowering in the corner
Afraid of everything, everyone
People you've hurt before
Try to warn me and tell me
Exactly what will happen
If I say only 3 words
Fatal words hurtful words
You know of the damage they cause
And of the wreckage they bring
Yet you say them so meaningly
Your trying to hurt me
And bring me pain
Well you succeeded
My heart is slain
And I feel a pain
Like no other pain
And I still tell you
I still love you
And no matter what
I always will
And you never will
So ***** I spill
Because you make me sick
Because you think your slick
But you're not
All this is what runs through me
And my mind
As I sit here and you tell me
This 3 word devastation
That I fear, so much I fear
As I'm dripping a tear
As you softly whisper in my ear
I love you dear
Tears crystal blue
Becasue I know its not true

It had been the longest summer of longing in my not so long life I had imagined how you would feel from our ever so innocent beginnings, I was in his car the late august air brushing stray hairs from behind my ear softly on to my cheeks the air like slow warm breaths with undertones of the promised september chill. In the space of forty five minutes I had counted fifteen red cars in the wing mirror. everything in this long wednesday seemed as futile as the war poems in the anthology with the sunset on the cover similarly filtered and dissected to try and extrapolate some kind of meaningless meaning to meaningly satisfy the means which I know full well I do not mean.

They will find you
Where ever you go.
You can't hide
You can't run.
They know where you are,
They keep tabs on you.
They know what you do,
And know who you're with.
They know when you cry,
When you laugh,
When you curse,
They just know.
They're not there to hurt,
They're there to help.
You may not think it,
But its true.
They'll fail you
Meaningly,
Unintentionally.
You just don't know.
They'll be there for you.
You just don't know.
Don't let your fear get in the way.
Do all you ever did,
Change not a thing.
Be who you are,
And you'll be just as safe.

Time is the great healer,
I've heard said, it gets easier
as you go along.
Keep yourself busy,
less time to think,
others advised, well
meaningly I don't doubt.
But time has healed nothing,
my son, it doesn't get easy at all:
neither nights nor days,
thinking of you and those
dark hours, the last minute scenes,
the negligence
of those paid to care,
and grief's usual wear and tear.
Time just consolidates
the pain and grief, brings it
up close now the numbness has fled,
the stark reality bites deep
no matter how busy
or occupied the head,
and the final words
scribbled down:
your son is dead.
