You left me here and I watch you die
Guess death never cared about how much I feel
I tell myself it's alright
But here I am, thinking about you
Your absence I don't deserve
But what would I say I want
Quite sudden and it all caught me by surprise
I was just there, laying next to you
A thousand fights I said we could have
I never said you could die on me
Maybe you being alive is all I want
Maybe I'm too messed up to even think straight
Now, your memories are all I have left
I keep staring at your pictures too
Don't know if I'll ever feel better
You did a great job leaving a scar behind
I loved you and you know about that
I wish I could hold you tight for a moment still
I'm thinking how to live without you
You taught me all I know
But now you're gone forever
And I wonder if I will ever escape this
All my smiles are pretty dry
And my laughter is quite dead
I'm just worked up mentally
Wondering how could you leave us all behind
Maybe it's all for the better
And sure makes the angels wear a pretty smile
Cause now they have you though I lost you
I'll tell the kids about you
A story about a mighty man I once knew
Go ahead and spread those wings
I knew you had them while you were here
If there ever would be a story
I mean a new space where we could live again
Pretty sure I'd still choose you cause no one can ever play your role
I'll live by what you taught me
And beside me, there will always be a seat for you
I will always save one for you
You will forever be in our hearts
You'll be missed Pops, You'll be missed!

- Comment from author about the poem: It\\\'s been a while I post any poem here. This piece was what my hand wrote while I was going through the trauma of losing my dad some months ago. Lost my relationship few days to that, then lost the job I was working too. God is the greatest in all. 💝
