Remembering Them

You heard it ring a thousand times before However, this time it seemed like something more You dreaded picking up the phone As if you knew the unknown After that dreaded phone call You just wanted to fall A piece of your heart empty You didn’t want others pity God took you breaking us apart While reaching in and pulling out my heart How can our Savior be so cruel and brutal Sparking my refusal Letting go of one we held dear Drowning our sorrows with beer Some say it’s easier with time Meanwhile I feel like a mime My words in my head Seemingly, my tongue made of lead Calling for help seems fruitless As words are empty and useless I should feel happy having loved you so much For if I didn’t, my heart would go untouched Remembering you brings tears to my eyes Knowing you have met your untimely demise So many things left unsaid I have them embedded in my head No more waving goodbye Instead, looking up at the sky For now you are gone While I am withdrawn Asking myself, will the pain ever ease As I cry on my knees If the pain ever goes away I’ll be okay
