gut ripped open, emptied out and filled with barbed wire.

With no rehearsal, I suddenly had to recite your lines.

I gasped for someone's hand 

As it was in anothers. 

When we finally realize we deserve nothing we lose nothing.

fulfillment behind

a head I can't

turn until

breath fails

Your star flickered

too soon

but now lights the sky.

the candle dies,

but my silhouette still paints the room.

Your story barely begun,

Death stole all the pages away.

Through pain,

his voice dissolved

like thunder in the rain.
