I know you’re not around but I hear you all the same,

Soulful crescendos and moments of change,

yearning instead calling empty spaces by your name.

Listless moments assail my mind in strange,

recognise a life lived in hesitation,

beset on the Walls by ravens and crows,

I’ve held on and I hold by invitation.

for in heaven I hurt like hell without you.

Standing in the grey too long next to namelessness,

asking myself could I have held you longer?

Yet I braced against so much facelessness,

God knows you’re the only thing that made me stronger,

I have remembered and stalled amid the flashes,

music within spaces of my heartbeat deafen me,

I know I’m not good enough yet striven in time,

I’ll whisper your name at the grey for it’s all that’s left me!
