I hope you have the heart to hold on when the things crumble in despair.
I hope you see the sunset one day and be beautiful in inescapable yearning.
I see you everyday,
i see you in every corner of this city.
The horror is powerful in its invisibility.
I have seen your eyes,
the empty eyes that gaze through the almost commonality.
It’s not the end of the world,
nothing is.
We finish when we know we finish.
I hope your alcohol is a celebration
and your abundance is a gift.
You know that the song is there; inside,
where the fire blazes in solitude.
Your wait will be a masterpiece and your words will never reach the sentiments.
I hope i will always see you with smiles,
in memory and in time.
