Granny.... My Best Friend... My Sister

To Granny... the most beautiful person you will ever meet... A short poem I wrote in the last ten minutes expressing the last 20 minutes of our drunken, profound evening lol! There are only certain people you will come across in your life that you can tell your world to... She can somehow make sense of any riddle in your head... If you know Granny, you will get this without any misinterpretation... If you know Granny, you are blessed to have her in your life... There's no one else like her...

Ash, ash, ash... words on our tongues...
Love that is unpreachable...
Smoke in our lungs...

My sister... my heart...
Words no longer speak...
Smell of stale cigarettes...
Absence is bleak...

Doors shut behind me...
Words left unsaid...
Thoughts dancing aimlessly...
Find corners in my head...

Wine losing taste...
Air running thin...
Premonitions wandering blindly...
Life marching within...

Nausea running deep...
Racing away...
Regurgitating lies...
Only truth that stays...

Life looking forward
Crowds cheering ahead...
My ears closing shut...
Lone string to be thread...

Pat on the back...
Holding your hair...
Dreams drifting frantically...
Time left to share...
