I'M In Pain

You waved goodbye with a
               smile, 
 I couldn't argue because it
 was at the hour of the night. 
  But I heard the screeching 
               of birds, 
Still I couldn't sense its message,
       it was too parabolic. 
   Would you wake up, I'm
       calling your phone. 


         The sun is up, 
It kissed my cheeks but I missed
    your hug on my chest.  
 Can't you just get up and say
             hi to mom? 
Please God, can I share a bit
           of my breath? 
I need some seconds to
          talk to Mr Death. 

Our memories will never fade
They say death is an obligation, 
    Who are we to blame? 
   I miss you, who'll play with
     me the football games? 
I wish I could stop the tears but
  pretence I can't make cause;
              "I'M IN PAIN"
