Poem 7

They gave us a song prompt for this hour. I used Neon Gravestones by Twenty One Pilots

Your love was strong;
your resolve was stronger.
You hid from your thoughts
til you could no longer.
You spoke of the darkness
but not of yourself.
You brought me joy
as days passed by.
I never thought
you’d say goodbye.
For who’d suspect,
my darling friend,
that you would meet
this gruesome end?
You told me that
there was no hope
and so you chose
to let life go.
The hole you dug
and fell inside,
you hid from us
with smiling guise.
Those we love most
we forget to tell.
I let you go
and then you fell.

h.e.m.
