Remembering

It's been over a year
His life was taken from him
I cry from time to time
And try to remember the way he lived

I haven't gone to his grave since the burial
I dont' know why I've been so afraid
Maybe it's the fact that it still feels like a bad dream
And at any minute he'll be walking through the door

I just wished I could have talked to him
Before his last breath
I remember telling him to get better before we left
But that was just hours before he was gone

Now that he is gone
The family seems to be falling apart
It seems like he was the glue to keep us together
But nothing will ever be the same

I miss hearing his joyous laugh
Quite similar to my own but not the same
He was always able to make my day brighter
And for the past year, nothing but clouds

So sorry for your loss. Keep writing, writing is a great way to heal. Thanks for posting.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
