Gone
He has gone away.
He was needed
Somewhere else.
His work was finished.
Though we understand
That he had to go;
That doesn’t stop the
Pain buried deep inside.
I sometimes think
That he’s still here.
I’ll think that I see
Him or hear him.
That’s the hardest part.
Turning around to
Catch a glimpse or
Hear his voice.
And not seeing
Him anywhere.
But I could
Swear that I did.
My head tells me
That he’s gone and
My heart tells me
That he is not.
But I know in
My deepest of
Hearts that
He truly is.
The pain will
Eventually fade,
But the memories
Hopefully never will.
I keep him alive
In my heart.
Because people remembered
Are never truly gone.
