liam
Do you think that by showing your power
Dusting the world with white
Will overshadow the pain?
The blue sky and silence on the street
Will distract the pain
These parents face without their little man?
Why do you need him now?
A piece of heaven would do so much good here on earth.
You selfish God.
Why do you need him now?
His giggle, his toothless grin,
his ability to make everyone around forget their troubles
the white will melt soon to reveal the ugliness of our world that you left behind,
taking with you the best of it.
Why do you need him now?
You have all that has ever been beautiful here;
Why take him?
He was completely appreciated here-here is where his mother and father and brothers and uncles and aunts and cousins are.
Not there.
He was not suffering; he was utterly happy here
This is his home. Not there, not yet.
This was not supposed to happen now.
You made a mistake. Give him back.
The white is turning to grey; the grey will vanish to nothing.
Which is what you’ve left us all with.

affair
I see you there bearing your soul for all to see
Most just smile, but you speak only to me
Dare me to ignore the strangle on my heart
But I can barely breathe
You are the greener grass I should never touch
I need you to not be so much
Please do not be real, I swear,
This feeling is going to end me
Why did you trespass into here
This was safe and now its chaos
I wish we never would have met
Why can’t I go back
To the way I was before
You changed me
This affair of minds has to end
You see me naked and bare
And know me, My hopes my fears
I can’t have that
We must never speak of this again
I wish you well, my friend
I will go on without youUntil I hear your voice again.

Why did you trespass into here
This was safe and now its chaos
