For Those I Left Behind
A poem that I wrote for my brother's funeral.
For those I left behind,
Let me know.
Have peace of mind,
As I let you go.

My life was short,
But it was cherished.
Love of every sort,
Too soon I perished.

For those who care,
Hands shaken.
Hearts stripped bare,
Your love was not forsaken

The Emerald Problem
Before him sat the radio system. The buttons on it flashing in quick succession as he watched them. How long had it been since he spoke to another person? Just how long had it really been? Elliot wasn’t entirely sure anymore. But it didn’t matter. After all, he wasn’t lonely. Why in the entire world would he need to speak to anyone else for? At least that’s what he kept telling himself. That he wasn’t the least bit lonely.
