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While I am withdrawn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
