Ruthless Observation of a Severed Connection

The truth is having its time
As I sit and write the mindless wanderings of a weighted heart
My boy drives 
farther 
                         and farther down a highway I will soon know of
         Glancing around a haunted apartment
A balcony
                                             Mocking
    			Two empty chairs
Ghosts facing one another
           Sharing a breeze
A kitchen cluttered
Lazy pots resting on lazy pans
                          The whites of eggs now hard against a dirty counter
          The batter of a cake half had falls down like laughter
                                           Into a bed fit for one but perfect for two
                             A blanket
Stained; with a welcoming passion
                                                      A Frisbee that holds a person
Red aluminum towers of cheer hide away daily life
      Left in the trash
          A pile of dirty memories
Smiles 
kept hair full of fingers
                             A gift given 
                              A stereo full of Gypsy Gods
Mindless of a growing inside
                                                                		 New secrets now kept
