you'll never know

silence babbles in my ears   
prattling on every day that you're not here   
about how mine was a most silly   
and ridiculous way to skate   
   
i clean, and waste my eyes, my breath   
as addiction stumbles clumsily away     
i know exits and words can be tricky   
on this side of the fence   
   
happiness cradles my face as i watch the glee   
dance across its own   
and it jabs my stomach with every glimpse    
that makes me think     
of you   
how much you should have seen or heard     
this time or that   
i grin   
   
baked, roasted, fried, smashed   
(grilled), chipped, or even boiled   
good friends do go so nicely with fish
