On Hearing of Tom's Passing

After his death came the stillness.
A quiet, like the dead of night.
You could almost touch the silence
That crept through the house.
The light lost its brilliance
As darkness drifted in.
Until the the sun shone
And our spirits lifted.
We remembered the times we shared
Laughter joy and tears.
Recalling memories that we knew
Would pull us through
The times when we will miss him the most.
Goodbye dear Tom
God Bless

You and Me

You were the One
Who ticked all my boxes.

You were the sum total
Of all my needs.

You were the fuel
That drove my engine everywhere

You were the journey
That I was willing to take.

You were the ivy
That invaded and muffled my walls

You were the distance between you and me
Measured in tears.

You were the One
Who push all my buttons and pushed me away.
