    I had intentions of using this image to write a poem about my grandfather. Unfortunately, words have been failing me these days. I tossed around words, phrases, ideas. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

    She says she loves you. She lied. While they’re all laughing, You cried. They said they’d help you. Denied. All sense of hope? It died. You see those smiles? Sheer illusion. You hear those whispers? Their collusion. Your “friends” are serpents. A den of snakes. Veneer of sweetness. Another fake. You choose to trust them.…
