Requiem

Angry eyes looking
away
from my regret.

Hurt in your language
as you walk around
in my clouded dreams.

Can I just talk to you?

Fear, sadness, pain
costumed in Halloween
absurdity.

I try to find you
among the monsters
of despair.

I miss you, awake,
asleep- outside of time,
that does not heal.

This gaping, forever
fresh, deep wound
that is the absence of you.

Trudi Ralston.

This poem is for a very dear person I loved and lost in the terrible family war that shredded all illusion of being part of a group of people that cared about each other. JTW, this is for you.
