So Silence Fell
I miss you more than I can say ...
Stinging like gaping wound
To think you may never know
Just how much you meant to me ... still mean
The tears I spilled since, forever a mystery to you
If there was a way for me to send you a note
A message of regret … what would I say?
Do I tell you how I cry myself to sleep now?
That everyday things remind me of you
A rose of Lego … from you to me
Can’t bear to look upon it on that shelf,
Also would never be able to cast into the flame
The box of chocolates I got for you was easy
Eaten in a guilt ridden binge, and suffered for it
Cupcakes …
That was going to be ‘our’ thing … Cupcakes
I had decided, whenever we saw each other
There would be cupcakes …
Now the thought of them makes me sick
Because I never saw you again, all I have is
The screaming silence of your absence
...
How do I express to you how much I miss you
How much I want you back in my life
How I wish to go back and tear away those words
I saw your pain, saw your struggle
Did not wish to be a further burden
So silence fell
...
And I let go, hopeful one day
There may be cupcakes again
...
Will
There
Ever
Be
Cupcakes
Again?

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
