Noise

When these empty spaces come;
The busyness from day to day
Shuts down and the noise stops
I am forced to look at me,
A practice I am familiar with but
From now on,I am forced to look at
You and what you went through
Before you took your life into
Your own hands and left us
Then, more so, me, without you and
Even more so, your family without you




We are left here to pick up the pieces
You created when you shattered
Your soul into our hearts
I know your mind was sick
I know your body was sick
Though I can't help to be angry
Not only did you leave, my brother,
You left without a goodbye to all of us
I wish I could have helped you and so does
Everyone else who loved you
We are broken from losing you
We are broken from missing you
We are broken from guilt and shame and
The images we carry of you
In our hearts, in our minds,
On our Facebook walls,
On our phones, on our walls
We carry you in our souls
When these empty spaces come and
The busyness from day to day
Shuts down and the noise stops
A promise of tears and sorrow pay a visit
I have a feeling the noise is what you ran from
I hope you found your place of solitude
Will you pray we all find ours?
