All I see is black
when I close my eyes because...
So many words left unsaid, only hinted to
But eagerly spilled emotions can turn sour...
I thought this feeling was long gone
An elusive creature and I was their poison...
“I.O.” is marked on a gravestone in Milton
An American flag and bronze star grave marker spin...
Full of fun you filled our lives
And those around with love and joy...
Not often I get to let my hair down,
But then I ain't got much to touch...
Thank you for being my best friend
& Always believing in me...

The world spins faster...
For him
For her...
Memories are good,
Memories are bad...
I miss my mother's lap
Where I lay my head...
This? It's my father's pocket watch.
burnished gold, keeps meticulous time...
