The fight, the game

Today I just have a heavy heart, the picture is my best friend in the entire world Matthew Hamilton Sciole. Matthew lost his battle with addiction last year and passed away while I was incarcerated, I still don't all the way accept the fact that he's gone, I still think that I can pick the phone up and call him. All I have left of him now is his ashes and the memories that we made together and it doesn't make it any easier. I would give all the treasure in the world just to have one minute with him but I can't and so when I write, read, or talk about Matt that's my time with him. I came across this poem sometime ago and I didn't really hold any weight until I sat down and thought about it I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. I love you Matt I'll never forget you!!

                        THE GAME

Let me tell you about a game I play,
Where I close my eyes and I fade away,

I float away to a special place,
Beyond the stars,moon,and space,

In this special place you see,
There are only two people, you and me

In this place all is right,
Nothing but love, and we never fight,

In this place there is no sadness,
No cells, no courts, none of that madness,

No rules to follow no laws to break,
No bars to hold us or separate,

No one to tell us we can't kiss or touch,
I don't just tell you I love you, I show you how much

But eventually the game must come to an end,
My eyes will open and reality sets in,

But someday soon I'm not sure when,
I will close my eyes and play the game again
