Lindsey Zenz Poet I do not know?

Saying Goodbye

As the music plays 
I drown out the sound around 
Reality slowing fading away
The lyrics come at me 
Like a wave of emotions 
Remembering the beautiful pain 
Memories shoot through my head 
Like a silent film
black and grey
I try to remember his voice
his soft touch
his presence 
him
I open my eyes to the harsh reality
I am here and he is not
I look at his stone cold face 
I tell him I am here 
I know he can't hear me 
but I know he is watching 
Before they take him away
I grab his hand 
I tell him 
I love you 
I'll see you soon
Goodbye papa
