Dedication

Life. It comes and goes. Some leave early, some leave till they decompose. Alone. I can't believe that you're gone. You left me with your scent, You left me discontent, You left me with my heart bent, With no consent, I didn't know what it meant. Mourn. Tears fall endlessly when I think of you in my memory. Some sad, some happy. You pick me up when I'm down, You entertain me like a clown, You make my world go round. Stronger. With every inch of me, I know that this will soon pass. There's always sunshine after the rain, The values you've taught me remain. Attain. Contain. Sustain. Those words you used to say, help ease the pain. Celebration. I know you're in a better place, With the late others, you meet them, embrace. As you look down upon me, I know that you're always here with me. When that day comes, my last breath I yawn, I will see you again, life goes on.
