At some point
I glimpsed a portion of your soul
the part you tried to keep hidden
beneath the stoicism and
and constant deflection
You do not know this
I kept my reaction hidden
covered with a snort of laughter
at the joke hiding your truth
It was beautiful
this glimpse
this sliver of light in the
pressing darkness of life
like a gemstone hidden
amongst the stones
deep in a cavernous hole
I never knew how to ask you
why you kept up the facade
never knowing when
the right time would be
Now I cannot ask you
you are gone your soul
gone and buried
and my whole being feels the loss
You were the brightest part of my life
the brightest part of each of my days
I miss you
more than any language can express
I will love you continuously
through each day I face alone
through moments when I want to
turn to you and bring you in on the memory
It will always be you
