The Lonely Death

This is from an upcoming work of fiction titled, “The Disappeared.” The lead character is a songwriter, and this is meant to be one of her works.

Bodies drop
Bodies drop
Bodies dropped without consequence.

Who keeps the names of the dead?

When they are all collected;
The forgotten ones
The disposable ones
The unwanted ones

The second class citizens
After they been
Taken, forgotten, and disposed of

Who records what their mama’s said, at the end?

When the no-consequence crew come
And do
What they gonna do
Hiding behind flags and gods
While takin’ what they will

Who then
speaks for the dead?

As you laying splayed out
your insides pouring out
and the light is draining out,
who will hear you call
for your mama
one last time?

At the end?
All alone?
In the dark?

The lonely death is the monster’s worst sin.

Nothing in Between

This is from an upcoming work of fiction titled, “The Disappeared.” The lead character is a songwriter, and this is meant to be one of his works.

——————-

Here I sit, all by myself,
Far from were I belong.
Infinite night before my eyes,
stretching to the beyond.
The more I look,
the more that I see,
there is nothing in between.

Nothing, no nothing
Nothing in between you and me
You and me (x2)

So, It may seem like I am gone,
beyond all hope of return.
But I can feel your heart break,
as if it were my own.
For the song of life, that sings for me,
also sings for you.

All of space,
all of time, you and I,
entangled by love,
shall always be as one.

There’s nothing, no nothing
Nothing in between
Nothing in between, you and me
You and me

So baby don’t be cryin’.
Don’t fret while I am gone.
Cuz the light that brings the dawn,
is the light that brings me home.
So, if you’re worried where I be,
just holler at the sun,
and I’ll come running, running,
running to where your are.

For there is nothing, no nothing
Nothing in between
Nothing in between you and me
You and me

I’m coming home to you, my love.
That you can believe
Cuz nothing, no nothing
can stand in between
You and me (x2)

Nothing, No Nothing can stand
in between, you and me
you and me.
