Away

I thought you would stay here.. 

For all time... 

It felt as if nothing would change.. 

Sublime... 

Cheated, comes to mind
So many years left in unrest

You were taken in your years of zest

So unfair
Forever, I detest


There is none understanding 

In death... 
The myth we face only alone, 
And likely changes everything we have known... 

We, left behind, 
In shallow, cry

It is a hard lesson, but reality

Who knows what the brain comprehends

Who knows what messages the spirit sends

So young, you left
So fresh, so deft

I thought you would be here, 
To hold

As the colours fade in each day
My memory will remain unshaken

As I grow old

In remembrance of you. 

My son.
