Haunted By Laughter’s Edge

His final joke never landed. The room froze on a breath that never turned into laughter,

a silence so sharp it felt like betrayal. We came to watch him fall apart for us,

He showed us that you don’t fix what’s broken by hiding it—you hold it up to the light,

name it without flinching, and in that shared exposure,

the fear finally loosens its hold.
