![]() LesA Poem by Falling Awake![]() A poem remembering my late boyfriend, who died by suicide a year ago.![]() In just one split of an instant Life force entirely withdrew With your vitality vanished I find myself severed in two As heavens expand between us I fear I’ll recall less each day… So, I think back through the senses To keep time’s forgetting away I’ll always smell you as diesel From the truck you tried to repair And later, the antiseptic Congealing the hospital air I can still taste the cheap cigars We inhaled as an attempt to cope The blandness of the Psych Ward’s meals where you hid your disorder’s scope I almost still hear your singing Of single half-melodic lines Always found it quite endearing How you’d repeat them so many times And, while your laughter still cuts me It’s Your voice I try to repress The sound of its damage haunting Scarred, by the life support process I still see the flash of brilliance Intensely piercing through your eyes But yet, with a sense of softness When returning silent replies And I still feel your energy In brief moments I feel in tune So, I remember through senses Until we will meet again soon
