Without Saying Good-bye

Posted on January 19, 2021 | 17 Comments

They fall through the cracks, slip by

The keyholes; each holding the branch

Of humanity. I cry for your hand

To keep hold of fading memories

That twist like wisps of smoke

Into the darkness. You sigh with your head

Raised up to where heaven might be,

Praying for the romance of a final

Good-bye.

    Thanks Eloise means a lot
    
    When I started lacing lyrics again I honestly didn’t see as something I would made public because for long time it was my sense of escaped from fucked up reality I was thrashed into.
    
    But you know what they say” Its like muscle memory it never fades away as when you learn to ride a bike it sticks”
    
    Also if you would like to share of my lyrics or post them for more awareness I would be honoured mate.

    I didn’t know they used sonic sound waves for PCS. I’m glad it’s helping.

  So many families are not getting to say good-bye to their loved ones once they go to the hospitals.
