Finally

FINALLY

Multi-emotions/ coming and going
It's been awhile since/ I sat down with pen and paper
It's not that I/ have nothing to say
It's the multi- emotions/ flowing in my head/ while my heart ache

Don't know /where to start
My heart is broken/my body in need of his hug/ just to be held /hear his voice/
one more time
whispers/ of everything, scent of his pipe/ cherry smoke

I know/everything/ will/ be/alright

Angers builds/not at God/ but at myself

ONLY...?

Asking/God why? 

WHY???
 Didn't I/ say good-morning/ open the door
Good morning / Dad/before
 that day/ bothered me

Instead/ I wrote a letter/why on that day
Call me/if you need me
Multi- emotions/within/deepens/ 
 I am/not ready for this/ not ready to say/ good bye
Knowing /I must

Daily/ I pick up/ pen and paper
Nothing comes out/but tears/ instead/hands shaking/STOP
As I/ carry these/ multi-emotions 
I carry /to escape /into my world
I hold/I hold/ holding /this paper 

Tears starts/ as I / sit down to try/not to cry/ looking at this pear
Multi-emotions stirs/holding back my tear/ I try/ how many days/ weeks/ months/ years/ will I shed?

For you Dad!

My mind/My soul/ Knows
But/ my heart won't let Go
I ache/I ache/this pain/not seeing you/ 
I ache

Uncontrollable shakes, takes over
ME...

FINALLY
I break / I break
DOWN
Not wanting to/ but had too/
Multi-emotions/daily fills me/ with anger/joy/ sorrow
Praying for PEACE, to smile/ when I think of YOU

Asking /God for tears of Joy/not SADNESS /because/ I believe /you are with him
No more fighting to be strong, Because I love you/ I miss you daily

DADDY
I EXHALE/ I BREATHE for memories giving to be shared
PRICELESS MOMENTS
So, I write to heal
