June 11th 2014
I made the observation that if today were the last day that I ever saw you it would be the perfect way to say goodbye. As we sat above the treeline watching cars scurry about you remembered that you left the oven on earlier in the day and promptly left. We hugged and parted. It's been two years now and I don't know where you went or who you became, but occasionally people will ask me about you and how you're doing and I will always respond with "good" even though you may be living in absolute hell as far as I know. Knowing you, you're probably just fine. Your personality was like the sun, lighting every room you made yourself at home in.
I woke up this morning with a knot in my chest and I did not know how to untie it
I looked through my blinds and burned my eyes
Slipping my fingers into the flesh of something that once breathed too and reminding myself that in some alternate universe the breathing flesh would do the same to me
A puppet on a string will know only once that it too is trapped and continue living
No more sun
No more booze
No more fun times
Nothing more to lose
No more money
No time to waste
No more long nights
no short days
I'm all used up
I'm all used up
I can give you my love
But I'm all used up
