Deadly Birthday Wishes

If it rings it will be them,
To tell us that he’s dead.
But I already know.

From the moment they spouted ‘coma’,
To the way my mother moped around.
She knew too.
We all ‘knew’.

Three days ticked away. Not a
smile
in sight. Maybe he’d be ok.
Maybe he’d be all right.

Just maybe…
Ring ring.


Liar

The pain seems limitless,
I cannot stop it,
There are boundaries for my stupidity,
I just get worse.

Never have I been so selfish,
I cannot stop this.
Not a thought or concern for others,
I just get worse.

Treading on people’s faces,
I enjoy every minute,
Standing in the way – stopping others from passing,
I’m ahead, that’s all that matters.

This isn’t me.
Well, if this isn’t me, what is?

(I don’t believe you.)


A poem for you

Never afraid to speak the truth,
Never afraid to make a change.

Always ready for adventure,
Always ready for tomorrow.

Hands out the laughter,
Hands out the joy,

Everyday is like a dream,
As everyday is with you.
