Nicholas T Hawley

Nicholas T. Hawley I can’t believe a year has passed without you near. A harsh year without your smile only replaced by tears No one truly knows why you ended your life, alone in a jail cell late at night. I thought you to be safety tucked just away in prison You hung yourself with no one present You were a child I loved, I could of helped make things right. The loss I feel without you a heavy presence on my mind. Sitting at the gravesite feels cold and unkind. What I wouldn’t give to hear your voice one last time. To touch your hand in reassurance where you stand To let you know how much I care.
