for David

There seems to be no love anywhere,

anymore,

for the boy who loved everyone,

but not himself,

everything caved in and there wasn’t a way out,

there was no light to shine through,

there was no light to say, “your sadness is temporary, and you will be rescued”

but he never was.

He will now be everywhere,

but nowhere,

he will now make you smile when you don’t want to,

because that’s what he would’ve done,

you will now realize that life is precious,

and words are the most powerful weapon God ever created.

So,

choose carefully about how you will use them,

because sometimes heaven receives angels too soon.
