The ripples of your absence, create tsunamis
Waves of guilt swallow us whole
Drowning us in sadness and despair
We peer over the abyss of our faulty selves
Falling headlong into avoidance
Too full to eat humble pie, too empty to fill up
Out of sorts, a missing piece of the puzzle
Not understanding why you're gone
So so so so very gone!
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
I should have been more kind
Shit haunted you, 'til it consumed you at the end
I'm black and blue from missing you
Did you dive off the top board of your loneliness?
We're all in that splash zone now
Feeling the tsunami take us upon it's torrent of detritus
Bystanders in a sea of grief
