A letter from the sky

sadkw33n

It's been a couple of days since i last heard you call me name 

Those tears that you now shed for me i wish i could erase 

My body lifeless on the street, what a sight to witness

I filled my lungs one last time, that breath was full of sweetness

 

Combined with the fading sirens and the concrete's warmth 

It felt like i was on my bed and you were singing a song 

To put me in a peaceful sleep, like when i was a child

Now, mother, i peacefully sleep with no worries in mind

 

Though my heart aches from all your painful cries 

From all the words you say sobbing under starlit skies 

How i wish that you could hear me answering your call 

But all you know right now is that you've lost your only son

 

But, mother, I'll be there to guard you as you sleep

I promise to watch over you like you watched over me 

Though i wish you could've seen me as a groom or a father 

Instead, above a stone cold grave, i see you crying mother 

 

My life was cut short but i cherise the little things 

You and dad, my friends, my house, oh i was richer than kings 

Maybe there were some sorrows and we hand nasty falls 

But i am sure i had a life that was worth living for 

 

I know I'll be remembered, now let me fly just like a dove 

I see the gates are open wide in the heavens up above 

I promise you I'll be okay, i will too miss you mom

Now i have to move on, my time here is up 

 

Remember that i love you

Sincerely, 

Your son

    I'm sorry for your loss
    indeed, may he rest in peace
    this is a complex and impressive
    poetically ambitious, undertaking
    and brave..
    thanks for sharing

      Thank you very much for commenting. He was a very joyful kid. It's sad he had to die so suddenly and so young. Thank you for taking the time to read my poem and for your flattering words my friend! Have a great day!

        Thank you. He was really kind and had a great sense of humour. We were never close since we lived far from each other. But every time we would meet he would treat me like he knew me for the longest time. He was really social and caring. Thanks for commenting ❤️

          The best of people are taken up too early. I am sure he is watching you from above❤️
