If Only For Monte
If only tears could wash away the pain
or fill the empty pit that sudden loss creates
If that were true then this old heart
would numb with overflowing
This hole which resonates inside
seems vast and never-ending
At every turn, the memories
are all that I can see
If only tears could bring back just a blink
of one more minute
of one more touch and one more kiss
you’d be here evermore
But tears are only water filled of love
and reminiscing
And though a sweet release
they can but only fill the sea
For my sweet Monte
