converges on tonight


my own death finally made you stand still
inside but freezing sister winning first place
you frown at me as I lie there lifeless
has Christmas passed already
no one knows the cause
no trail can be followed too long

longer than the freeze inside longer than your loss
and longer than the letter that I wrote
to find out what the hell day it is and
what it this that has happened
all thought converges on tonight while memories still fresh

all thoughts rise up
to say they cannot be attached to what was
what will come and what is has always come first
my thoughts are with those that will not stop
and among them is the thought that you are finally
standing still...

you probably aren't missing any context the thing is a lot of what I write is personal but some of it is just thoughts in my head from something I read or a conversation I overheard or something I saw on tv or at work... u don't have to get it you read it that's what I appreciate... thanks
