*Trigger Warning – Suicidal Content*
Today you would have been fifty-two
Instead the doctor took away my blue
Pills and made me start the yellow
But I don’t feel like yellow
I feel like blue
Memories of you
Pinching at my heart
Suicide mosquitoes buzzing
Round my head
Today you would have been fifty-two
Instead it’s a gray kind of day
Cigarette meditation
Deep breathing smoke cuz yellow
Pills don’t bring
Medication mellow
Fill my lungs with your last breath
My prayers are a crime against humanity
So I whisper into empty ashen hands
Today you would have been fifty-two
Instead you are dead

I am happy to embrace your words, fill my arms … and as I release coloured petals fall to the ground. Your pain disperses in the colour…. ♥️
