Your brother got engaged today
To a good girl too
I think you’d like
her Name is Kimmy

She’s blonde
Now, I know how much
You hate
blondes
but she’s really

Sweet ring!
I sent you a picture but
it still says
your number isn’t in service

“Error code 000,
User on vacation”
Vacation?

Six feet under?
How
do you get R n’R
in a coffin?

When will you be coming home?
When will you be coming back?
There’s
so much
I have to tell you
Cameron was in a wreck
Is he
on vacation with you?

Are you both just hiding
doing
tequila shots
laughing about how much we must miss you or
are you both alone
separate
in your own padded boxes
stuck
between memories and possibilities?

I have so much to tell you

I bought more pens this week
My grades are
Low and I
Can’t find the words…

Darling come home
because I miss you
Come home because I need to see your
harsh face your
short dark hair your,
tall scrawny legs
your smile my
shining sun

Come home to our
singing valley
Come home and let it be how It was like
children, us, forever dancing

Come home your
butter soft lips whispered
encouragement into my heart but
I cannot hear your voice anymore

Come home because I miss our
midnight talks our
careless thoughts and our
flirtatious dreams come home because I miss OUR
vacations

God dammit
come home because the
night terrors are back and I don’t know
who
to
go
to vacation
isn't meant to last forever
please
please come home
