Just there...

Dallon was always just there

Like many and most people in Brendon's life

He was just there

But so were many things

Tear streaks were always just there

After they'd fight or Brendon would come home drunk and high out of his mind

A permanent frown was always just there

At first shadowed by fake smiles, until they just stopped

The nightmares were always there

But Brendon stopped comforting him when he whimpered

The flashbacks were always just there

But Brendon had never cared enough to ask

A slut was always just there

Meaning Dallon wasn't

Ryan became just there

But he wasn't before

The tired eyes were always there

But Brendon would just jump around screaming anyway

The jumpers were always there

But Brendon just laughed at those

Dallon was always just there

Until he wasn't

Brendon was the only one just there

When he realised what he had missed

Dallon was found just there

Hanging from a tree, blood on his arms

Ryan stopped being just there

He only cried when he was

The sluts stopped being there

Brendon felt too guilty

Dallon's picture was always just there

Covered in dried tears

Dallon was always just there

Until he wasn't...
