"A Good Boy"

A gruelling rehab

Walls of wonder
flicking flames at me

A coffin steady does it
Who shall remember

crouching in hurt
seething with pain

one light
along the lane

I hate but Love
I hold but push

of bright eyes I see
of deep darkness I swallow

gulping the innocence of you

why?
where did you go?

I looked and found
a hollow statue

arms were raised

I tried to hold you
but the stone ashen face
tore my soul

crumpled dying
I wanted to take your place.

A cathartic write Sophie - mere platitudes do nothing to lessen the pain, this is an extremely courageous narrative, I hope the coming New Year brings you some comfort and consolation.
