RE: Chaos Theory: Causing Hahvoc.
The Poem You Wrote
You know, I kept it to myself, as if I could hold onto you forever without having to share you. And yet, even as I stare at the words, I know that you've long gone and your words are just remnants of what made you who you are. All I have are remnants and at times I'm sad I never heard your voice and yet at the same time, I'm so glad I never heard it because I fear it would haunt me more deeply than your words do. I still remember the dreams I had for days after I learned of your death: of feeling you holding my hand or touching my cheek. It felt so real that it would wake me up as if someone had touched me. Maybe your soul did to tell me of your sorrows, your regrets, your love, and your goodbye. And now, I think, it's time to share your last words to me, even if they bring tears to my eyes that I don't know if they will stop. It's funny, I hardly ever cry unless you're on my mind. My Drowning Man, I think we've switched places, but I won't let myself drown because I promised you I wouldn't. I won't.
white walls surround me with their bleakness
empty halls echoing in sanatized misery.
a man in white coat comes to poke and prod me
delivering menacing diagnosis
with ambiguous hope.
friends come with their well wishes
their sorry eyes and sad smiles
as if i were on death"s door
even though they all assure me i"m not.
i am untouched by their sympathy.
i am distracted from the cooing worry of the doctor.
i am unphased by the small ripples of pain
echoing the torment that shocked me to the bone.
all i can think of is when i"ll talk to you next
when we will dance across the screens together
hands intertwined filled with words
that reach deeper than we know
Fuck, I miss you. I miss you and all your bullshit. All the fights we got into and our short but sweet reconciliations. Yet I know better. I know that missing you and wanting you and all these tears will change nothing but still I find some solace in my sorrow: What we had, as brief and bitter and sweet and loving as it was, it was real. You don't hurt anymore. I just sometimes wish you could talk to me. That I could seek some advice from you or something. But there is only silence. There are no more words. I have to remember that.
