Gone

Your absence is an abyss

To look in those eyes with irises a 1000ft deep

A 1000ft hollow

Here and gone

Your form now intangible

Just a vision that brought laughter

Psychotic tendencies

I see my little friend across the room

Where you ever even here?

A descent into a lonely place

Where are you now?

Little Ghost are you scared?

Has the stabbing stopped?

The dilation in your pupils haven’t yet diminished

Is Euphoria still casting its spell?

Do you blame us?

Did we do you wrong?

Be strong little one.

The fault lines rupture earthquakes

Shaking the hands that tried to save you

The cities of memories we built together

Tumble down

Instantaneously

History destroyed in a ml

Kisses and guilt

Drunk on agony

As the needle finds your bloodstream

I’m sorry we couldn’t save you

This house in an abandoned city

A place of memories

Needs boxing up

Needs storing away for another rainy day

Your presence lingers in every fibre of the furniture

Your shadows still walk around the house

Your little voice still echoes in my mind

I’m still waiting for your incessant knocking on the door

How I yearn for that annoyance

Where has our little soldier gone?

Where you ever here?

Disappeared into emptiness

Like you never had form

Never physical.

But I can feel your warmth in my arms

I know you were real and this is a lie.

I’ve been drugged into this nightmare.

Day turns to night, waiting to wake up.

Confusion

They’re calling for you boy.

I cannot bear to see those sunken eyes

And tears that flow so violently

Eroding her face, her colour, her life force.

Please be strong little one

Have everlasting peace.

Be strong little one. Be strong
