Gaping heart

A tribute to my cousin, Chua Guo Wei (1993-2015).

When men of men ask of space
They talk the stars of stars that glow and shine
No. Space is where he used to place
Where now I cry, I weep myself blind
Where his smell still lingers on the sheets
Where his ghost still haunts my dreams alone
Where my regrets redden, blazes and heats
'Cause space is a cruel, gaping black hole
Thus with the devil, I’d readily sell
My soul and life and material things
For a ticket to the fires of hell
As Saint Peter sounds the judgement ring
If for a minute, you may rise
And watch me breathe my final sigh.
