0xE850···1E4DLoss Unexpected (an ode to Meowski)
Perhaps I should have known
It would be your turn
Perhaps I should have seen
That you would follow suit
That once the soul that bound you here moved on
Your soul would drift to meet
It makes sense in retrospect
Even if it didn’t at the time
But all this didn’t matter then
It all seemed so unexpected
So fast and all too soon
I thought we would have more time
More time to cherish the end of our time together
But things changed quickly
And you were telling me it was time to go
I cherished those last days
I laid with you and held you close
With your head in my hand
I did everything I could to make your end as comfortable and happy as possible
In some ways I feel that I failed you in that respect
But I know that isn’t true
That is me just wishing I could have given more
I know you felt loved
And I loved you with all I had and always will
I just didn’t expect to lose you so soon
0xE850···1E4DExpected Loss (an ode to Andy)
Can you really ever be ready for something
Even if you see it coming
A long time preparing for something you see ahead
Can still surprise you when it is there
Can still floor your being and send your soul adrift
I saw the day long before its arrival
I thought that maybe by seeing it
By imagining it, by expecting it
I could create a situation in which I could bear it
However, I couldn’t have been more wrong
When that day arrived, I lost a part of me
A part that you gave me that I’m not sure I knew I had
And when it was your time
That part had to go with you
The love I have for you will be with me always
Even if you aren’t
I will always remember your face that pushed
How you would know when I was near before anybody else
And I knew that your time was coming
I was expecting it
But when it arrived
I was not ready
0xE850···1E4DCrossroads
I find myself constantly at crossroads
Unsure of where to go next or even what to think next
So many paths laid before me
Currently, this is part of my daily struggle
Feeling pulled in many directions
Stretching to absorb all the possibilities
Filling the cup as it constantly overflows
Perhaps after all this time my mind is actually full
That every experience replaces something held from before
Although I know so little of my own mind, I can only imagine
That there is only so much room
The constant reshuffling changes something
I can feel this change
A loss of innocence, a future before now behind
Perhaps I’ve grown tired in some way
Of something or somewhere
I don’t know
I’m at peace with this change
I move to embrace it
To accept the next changes as I navigate my personal
Crossroads
0xE850···1E4DWhere are we?
I haven't a clue
Are we lost?
My love, it seems that happened a long time ago
Where did things go wrong?
Once again, in the pursuit of certain things, we lost sight of others
Well, what do we do now?
Continue, as we always have
