Stillness

Standing in stillness
I observe the world
Spiral around me
Faster and faster
I behold life moving
I’m just a witness
Motion sickness
Hit me with a quickness
But I’m still …
standing in the stillness

Grief

Missing you comes in waves and sometimes it’s hard not to slip under the current of grief

There’s nothing to hold onto. No rope, no rescue, no return, no relief

Feel like I’m sinking in the endless deep
Drowning in the tears I weep

You Here with Me

I still remember the day you died

My brain didn’t believe it… It denied and denied

I spent weeks, month’s years crying for you

I wanted everyone to say they were lying; that it wasn’t true

But you’re still not here.. You’re really gone

It doesn’t seem fair; I didn’t have you that long

Since you’ve been gone I’ve felt so alone

Nowhere to go, to run to, to call home

I see you in my dreams all the time

And even though I know it’s not real and that you’re not alive

I still try to keep the dreams going forever in my mind

I wish you were here but I know that can’t be

But I selfishly long for it… You here with me

Kyoko W.P.
