for Linthi

How do I say goodbye…


you weren’t just someone I loved

you were someone I reached for

without thinking


You knew everything

the unfiltered version of me

the moods… the silences

the things I never explained

and you never needed me to


With you

I didn’t have to try


Your “good morning” messages…

I’d roll my eyes sometimes

and still… wait for them


You were always proud of me

in that quiet way

like it really mattered


I would call

cry… rant… laugh

sometimes all in one go

and it was easy

because it was you


Your kindness

your softness

that was just who you were


But it’s the conversations…

that’s what I’ll miss the most

the random calls

the nothing and everything


Now there’s just…

one more hollow space


Heaven has you

and we’re here

learning what that means


I will miss you…

in ways I don’t quite have words for yet

When did we forget?

Fear grips my heart

As I see the world

Going mad


Mad with war

Hatred spewing out

Human life

Reduced to nothing


Is it ok to kill

To starve

And displace?

Who gave you that right?


Where will this end?

These selfish ideals

Of a bunch of old men


I sit quietly

On most days

Disgusted by the reality

Of all that’s unfolding


Is there no God?

Why is the universe silent

Have we all lost our marbles?


Children buried

Under rubble

Mothers wailing

Into empty skies


Leaders speaking

In polished words

While bodies pile up

Somewhere far away


And I wonder…

When did we forget

That every life

Was once someone’s child


Someone’s laughter

Someone’s future

Someone who believed

Tomorrow would come


Power

Pride

Borders and flags


Strange things

To kill for


And yet here we are

Again

And again

And again


Humanity

So capable of love


So reckless

With life
