I wish I had something to miss,

A smile,

Or a goodbye kiss

A selfish wish,

I know,

I wasn't ready for you to go.

So here I am with 

The bitter taste after taste

Of you finishing this Earth race 

Too soon,

In and then out like a sneaky coin

With a dark burglar's mask.

And divided we are,

You were the focal point,

Though I can't remember,

As I was as light

As a feather,

And no matter what they say, 

I just know we were better together.

And Dad,

I'm sorry I didn't 

Make it to your grave

I'm scared to admit

It will be all the more real

12 years later,

But still,

Too soon,

Too surreal

I don't want this to be real.

Dad,

Come back,

help me heal.
