The Dirty Patches

The patch of dirt on grassy lawn speaks louder then the stone that lies above the slushy mud where grass is neatly grown. The only thing that I can smell is metal, sterile, clean.

@DreDay

Broken Days pass and I remember all the times we had Times when it felt like I had all the time with you in the world.

Surprises

You glare at me with sorrowful eyes, So I turn to stare at your shadow. You face me and to my surprise, You lean in nicely in the night-glow.

Proud

Mother, you did me right, you carried me nine months in womb, sacred tomb of your soul. Bore pain in birth like no man would suffer for me; you loved me more for that, than any man would ever dare.

The Selfish Side of Someone Else's Death

He sat there motionless upon his bed. The pillows looked more plump than he did. The blinds let little light linger upon his fragile figure. He was barely awake but he knew I was there.

I Cry For You.

I t is a horrid thing, to cry. C ontrol leaks away. R eality sinks in. Y ou realise there is nothing to do. F or a long time, you can't stop. O r control laboured breaths. R eal tears aren't pretty.

I wish you were here. Like you wouldn't believe. My heads in my hands. I'm starting to grieve. Why did you go. And leave me this way. I wish it was me. Then you could stay. I'm lost and alone.

My eyes filled with tears, Making reality of my fears, Today I lost you, You will be missed terribly too, It is horrible knowing it's true, Knowing there is no more you.
