you’re struggling to carry what i left behind
searching for clues, still digging through the past
each memory lights hidden caves in your mind
though perfect vision, you wonder how so blind
certain this love between us was meant to last
you’re struggling to carry what i left behind
every touch was tender, gentle, every word kind
you don’t want to move forward, but time moves fast
each memory lights hidden caves in your mind
my shadow lingers everywhere — sun will not find
so only darkness on your world is cast
you’re struggling to carry what i left behind
inside your head, my image is firmly enshrined
my destruction stretches wide, my reach is vast
each memory lights hidden caves in your mind
slowly you unravel, hoping we’ll be untwined
within your soul, large tumors have amassed
you’re struggling to carry what i left behind
each memory lights hidden caves in your mind

I have a lot of silly things (some dark things) inside my head, so I write them down. Sometimes they turn into poems.
My book Love Ain’t No Friend of Mine is available on Amazon. https://a.co/d/6JYBmLH

When I was six or seven, my stepdad came into my life, and I remember thinking he knew everything. He could befriend anybody, anywhere. In grocery stores, he chatted with strangers over cuts of meat; at gas stations, he bonded with people pumping fuel over how the smell of gasoline was disgusting and yet enjoyable. In restaurants, he took an interest in waiters’ lives—like Steve, whose father was dying of cancer. When Steve’s dad died, my new dad attended the funeral.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!
