my friend died today
and i wonder
why
sometimes
words aren’t enough
sometimes
a touch means too much
but it
isn’t enough
sometimes
living in this virtual world
kills us slowly
because we spend so much time
locked in loneliness
we feel like we’re
outside
of everything
looking in
i live here
but others can’t
and i wonder
if there’s enough love
in this world
to negate
the empty feelings
we all hide
we don’t have to be lonely
we don’t have to be sad
we don’t have to drink our sorrows
away
but we do
because love is always
a stranger
just around the corner
and sometimes
people just aren’t good to each other
and even when they are
distance
and circumstance
takes hold
but, there’s no such thing as
too late
so reach out
to your friends
and remember
that you’re special
don’t let this shitty world
beat you down
rise above it
and fuck them all
shine like the moon
waiting
for that lazy sun to rise
