Remembrance

It was in remembrance
that he was broken
Not in the loss

All things fade
of this he was sure
She did fade
of this he was sure

Losing her was no
problem
It was what she left
behind

She planted a barb
in his skin
with each move he made
each thought that invaded his mind
The barb dug deeper

Everything was connected to her
And now nothing was as well
She herself was nothing

She hadn't known then
He didn't either

When she died
She signed his death warrant as well

I have less to say

Silence is more helpful
Than words can ever be
A pause, or rest between a phrase
Unravels the mystery

Words can be edited
Censored
Twisted to fit a meaning

But silence is absolute
A void bereft of concealment
Bereft of all
But the truth

I guess it happens

A fix
A cure
Is all you were

A salve to ease the pain

Though I must admit
Before I knew

The wound was there again

A plague
A sickness
Its what you are

A draft of poisoned wine

The power of which started quite small
But fermented over time

Undoubtedly I'm to blame
This wound I've brought myself to
Yet I can't rid me of this tearing shame
To know the weapon used was you

Sleep beckons

Hear me through these eyes
Find what you can in them
Search me like I do you

I would like to give you hope
Of the thoughts coming through my lips
But it is a lost cause

Your ways are alien to me

Know me
Or don't know me

But I will not tell
I will not speak

driven

A restless mind
Like a wild horse
no man can tame
Best to go along with the ride

Where you are
is where you need to be

I'd give you the key..

No peering eyes can reach me hear
No unwanted visitors
A windowless room
A place only for myself

True I am a prisoner in my own head
-But a prisoner of choice!

I'm walking right now

A light in your eyes reflected in mine
That bright flash

When we passed I am quite sure
I saw it

There was some strange truth there
You knew something we could not grasp
The idea so simple to you

I was completely taken aback
That you -not I- understood this

It made me hate you

And it made me love you
