OPENED ENVELOPE!

Your tomb tattooed soul rest in peace, still no peace in my living soul

Death of you slain life cheers, spewed my joy as foul

No leash, only bloodstains with handprints all over your room walls

Tears wiped, investigation closed, blood cleansing occurred, my friend falls!

Every breathed hour seethes your absence day

Eyeing sea-sky, hoping for utter in your larynx on séance day

No more vivacious beings in my livelihood today

You left on a silent day, at dawn of day, I oath this death as foray!

If neither tumour nor disorder were the cause, I'd vaguely accept but running?

Messenger posts every day, mentally, who to blame?

My shoulders, not trained to broaden, confidence steadily at zero

Knees kneeling for a knell, with you behind it as a hero

Every plan we laid together, a lyricist Roro and a rapper Negro

World in our palms, today I pen without you as voice, almost in vitro!

Request thrown up sky, pleading unto your assistance

All I own are shadow footprints of your existence

Be my looker, my forebear, I'm out of patience

Outside its man-man prepared feast, there's no more obesience!
