Called Home

In the web you left behind

I fail to find or forgive myself

Long and cold have they grown

Sunless days in this home

Often and over and over again

Thoughts that won't come to rest

Why did you suffer this alone all along?

All dim, all pale, so lift me on the pyre

The feast is over, the lamps expire

Long and cold has it grown

This road you wandered once

Often and over and over again

Led to inevitable ends

Why did you suffer this alone all along?

What desperation guides your hand to

Blankеt these vacant walls?

By keystrokе you wrote, "I was called home"

And through that action I lost my own

Through that action I lost my own home

The peace the trigger granted begat the

Horror of flesh and bone

I only hope you found, that which was sought

By keystroke you wrote

"I was called - called home."

The dissolution of brotherhood brought

By a mist

Of red - I am home

Carried you thusly and later read

That I "deserve better" - what this life has fed

Now I must embrace the lessons taught

Everything you taught me

I cleaned your blood from off the screen

Scraped your brain matter

And let loose a scream

Relegated your life to trash and unseen

Shattered but grateful for all you did for me

All you did for me

The role you played was the

Most important of all

Why did you suffer this alone?

No one was with you when you died

I am home
