New work

What is it like ?

It’s been a while

Lost in the clouds

Alone with just my thoughts

To keep me company

.

Solitude caresses my back

But refuses to listen

It’s always been one sided

But I’m noticing it now

.

My deepest darkest secrets

For my mind only

No one else really cares

Why should they?

.

I only have myself to upset now

What is it like?

The only one person that mattered

Gone without saying goodbye

New work

I’m so glad that you fought

I’ll miss you when you’re gone

Why do we have to die?

I don’t like to think of it

I don’t like to think why

.

I see how much you suffer

I see how much you cough

It has been months now

I’m sure you’ve had enough

.

I’m not ready to say goodbye

I just cannot accept

I still need you in my life

I have nothing left

.

As you look at me you smile

A tear descends your cheek

You struggle with your breathing

You can’t even speak

.

I hold your hand so tightly

Refusing to let go

I’m scared of what is coming next

Because I just don’t know

.

Closing your eyes you fade away

I begin to weep distraught

You’re the bravest person I know

I’m so glad that you fought

.

WIP 2021

New project 2021 – Chapter 2 part 1

Frank angry from the night’s events got into the black Mercedes. Rose opening the passenger door and closing behind her.

“Well that went well didn’t it” she said. “Don’t lecture me” Frank snapped. Angrily starting the car. The car screeched away leaving tyre tracks.

Paul had been walking for a while now uttering to himself with discontent for his dad. He was soaked through from the constant rain.

“Probably gonna catch a cold now because of that idiot, Why did he have to act like that? Showing me up in front of everyone!”

“I’m gonna get home, I’m gonna get my stuff and I’m gonna leave” he shouted to the sky.

I never got to say goodbye!

I miss you so much

It feels like yesterday

Years have passed by

All along the way

It happened so quickly

In not even a year

You were taken from me

My biggest fear

I dream of seeing you

Hugging you tight

Holding you in my arms

Smiling with delight

Talking to you just once

To say what I had to say

“Dad I miss you, I love you”

I always will, come what may

Many years have passed

Even now it makes me cry

Remembering like it was yesterday

I never got to say goodbye
