Show Me
While I’m alive
Don’t bother with flowers at my grave
Nor sing a song of brotherhood
To my memory
When I’m long and gone
Rejoice in today
When I’m still here
Tomorrow can be so unkind
Think of me dead now
And relish in finding me breathing
Throw your arms
Around me
And embrace me like found gold
For the eternal sleep
Beckons with ruthless abandon
Raise your cups
And salute what we hold this minute
Do not waste another second
Tell me
You do love me
Before the words fall on deaf ears
And the sound of my voice is no more
Show me
In Memory
I often dream about you
Reimagined pictures of us
Where it all turns out fine
And what we held
Didn’t become hate
I can almost feel
The texture of your hands
Upon mine
Growing old throughout the years
How we would’ve proven
The world wrong about our love
But oh
This bitter reality
How it always renders my passion wrong
And proves itself right again and again
I still snatch a moment or two
Away from its potent grip
In memory of us
In memory of you
Since You
My heart is yours
It has no use without you around anymore
Please take it
These eyes are for you
As I do not wish to see anything but thee
Nothing else matters
I am just a void now
Empty
Shallow breaths barely filling my lungs
Air has no use
And only prolongs my being
I sleep awaiting forever
Only to open eyes
To brighter sunlight
I do not seek to darken the sky
For it still illuminates your world
Wherever that may be
Be it the next town
Or a million miles from me
Take my sense of touch away
I have no purpose but to remember
That feel of your skin
I am comforted with this knowledge
Sacrifice what’s left of me
To dirt or ash
Coffin or urn
Washed away in waters deep
Or flames to burn
Let them preserve a locket
For you to carry
Or throw away
There is nothing
Since you
