Dead
yet free
Out-there
some-where
Where?
Too human for comfort
Away from me.
Do you remember?
Or do you choose to forget?
Narcotic dreams
alive as day turned into dust and then dawn
words, sounds, confessions, smiles
Words I wish I could remember now
all I hear are silent echoes
of another time
another place
another blessed memory
Always there
Distance was never far enough.
I stood close to you through lifes little certainties
and harshness
consoled your tears,
rehab, heart breaks, number changes, desires, gossip
silence
and torn friendships.
Wasted and buzzing nights.
Them, us, you, mostly you.
Tears never found me when you were near
neither did insecurity.
Now those countless days and nights have withered
into the nothingness we have now become.
A nothingness we were never made to be.
You've never turned away from me
found solace within my empathy, motivation, encouragement
laughter confidence and critism
always truly naked with thoughts, feelings, despair.
But now were be you?
How do I reach you?
You are seeking for the better half of you
don't you know no greater soul roamed this earth
no greater soul then you?
Detangling all those ties which made you, you
Don't you know you cannot turn away from memories which kept you alive
sane
complete?
Are you ok?
My best friend
I miss you.
