Nothing.
No epilogue.
No final words.
The chronicles of you,
Of your death are unknown.
That's how you wanted it, though.
Nothing fancy, and certainly no pompous parades.
A certain blackness looms over the anxious spectators.
A question remains unanswered: Are you really gone?
You were certainly the type to pull jokes like this.
But in my heart I knew this wasn't a hoax.
My heavy heart was lightened when your name was uttered,
Until I realised where I was and where you were, indefinitely.
Nothing, you left me, us, with absolutely nothing to hang on to.
Again my heart sank, further this time and straight in to your shallow grave
Your flesh is a poem, and your actions the pen
You may write your autobiography and live 'til the end
Create your own destiny, decide your own fate
With continuous writing you'll never see the gate
With each step more ink bleeds on to the sheet
The spidery path revealing a walkway for the feet
An interruption elicits no response
Created: a fork in the road where you wait ensconce
Maybe you are me
Perhaps this adversity was meant to be
More importantly, is this all...
It matters not for we still have them enthralled
Lids growing heavy, our journey approaches an end
All our wounds lay open again
Just as when we arrived
We are mis
Of all the words uttered then,
I flung at her It could have been.
Shards fell like water through her fingers
Her pain would always linger
But I love you.
And I love you too.
Another sad story
In all its doleful glory
I was too young
Another time and place
One more familiar face
Years from now I confront her once again
She declares her heart has yet to mend
Only held together by needle and thread
Her heart morphed to lead, almost dead
I was too young
So long ago it occurred
Yet a flutter in her heart I still spurred
My own flickered with doubt
While in my head I heard a shout
My brain sai
Through my glassy eyes I see
nothing but a memory
the cigarette burns untouched, unwanted
the ashes fall around my feet
and my knees, they go weak
take a drag
take a sip take a hit
take a year
now repeat
see the flame
smell the smoke
feel the rush
Sometimes I stand alone
where the wind blows
and the sun refuses to shine.
And in those moments I realize
that I feel more alive
than I did when the sun was shining
and the illusion of happiness filled the Earth.
Even in sub-arctic temperatures I shall stand there
attempting to collect my being.
I will not conquer
but it matters not
for when the snow buries my tracks,
when the wind blows me off course,
and when the sun doesn't show my way
I feel alive.
Through my glassy eyes I see
nothing but a memory
the cigarette burns untouched, unwanted
the ashes fall around my feet
and my knees, they go weak
take a drag
take a sip take a hit
take a year
now repeat
see the flame
smell the smoke
feel the rush

No, I'm not stealing art. I'm the same person. The other account that features the same submissions is me.
I've had that old name for four years and I believed it was time for a change since I have gone through a bit of a metamorphosis myself.
I will, if I absolutely must, prove it.
[Excuse the fact that that probably made no sense. I'm exhausted.]
