Beautiful and Missed
Today was your birthday — an elegy
Punctured heart
Ruptured dynamics,
Gaping wounds
Forever torn apart.
Tall, beautiful, a wild and vivid spark
I think of your sweet angelic face,
glittering seafoam eyes,
innocence and grace,
Tortured soul deep in the dark
A life stolen,
a life gone,
A prank, a cry — something that went wrong
I think of you each day,
Yet today I hear you louder
A solemn energy, dispersed like powder
Numbness inside as I think of you,
today;
on what would have been your earthly birthday.
