before.

i am grieving for you brother
empty.hollow
walls
closing.losing
ground
self
there is nothing but midnight
soothing.cloaking.smothered.silence.
the sum of all colors relegated to nothingness
i am grieving for your stories
pleading to
re-ink pens
rethink plans
rewrite pain
but there is no meter for your proper passage
and i am left. unable to see
beyond
the empty.hollow
walls
closing.losing
ground
self
there is nothing but blackness
i want to fall into you
protect your protection
give you your peace
but all i can do
is rewind to the moment before i pressed record.
