Never Forgotten

Never Forgotten In silence I do sit And think amongst a dream Nothing will be real For a reverie cannot redeem. Fiction or non-fiction I try to narrate Yet it tends to work against me My mind cannot relate. You mean so much to me Though you I do not know Without you I contemplate Why did it happen so. As time presses on Thoughts of you become less Though I wish it weren’t so To only you I confess. If I had things my way Our existence I’d revise For I do not see the meaning Which I’m to realize. Is this not what molds me To whom I am today If it is no wonder So easily I fray. At times myself I catch That I do speculate Yet revert back around To the reality I hate. Diffused thoughts unsettle The truth I’ll never hold Testimony of others Is all that does unfold. The image in my mind How accurate can it be Onto nothing do I hold A memory to retrieve. That which I love, which I want No more does it exist Why do I yearn so many years To constantly persist. Suppose it’s not worth Even reflecting upon For nothing can change The fact that you’re gone. I love you and miss you dad.
