two years have come and gone yet the ache still remains I reached for you once more but again silence met my pain my heart, once more, is broken just as it had begun to heal the fragments lie before me waiting for something real

I will fight for every feeling hold tight to what is true until time blesses me with gentle mercy and brings a love that truly heals

and when that moment comes with your silhouette fully gone I'll gather all my strength and courage and at last, move on

DAD

In the shadows, I find my father fading,

Once so close, now distant, like a dream evading.

His words, they stir a storm within my soul,

Yet I cannot fathom why I feel so cold.

From my youth, his presence was my guide,

His calm demeanor, a shelter by my side.

Never harsh, nor quick to raise a hand,

Yet now, I struggle to understand.

Words elude me, when I try to express,

The depth of love, in my heart's recess.

Perhaps time's passage, or some unseen rift,

Has caused this rift, this painful shift.

But still, I long to bridge this growing gap,

To reclaim the bond, now blurred on life's map.

For who am I to shy away,

From the one who held me, day by day?

So I'll reach out, with trembling hand,

And hope to grasp, what once was grand.

For in my father's eyes, I see,

The mirror of my own destiny.

In another universe,

I meet my father

when he is a child.

We play catch in the woods

and as we play he tells me

he isn't allowed to cry

but sometimes the world

hurts him and he doesn't know

what to do with all that pain.

So I give him the shoulder

he needs to cry on.

And he does. He does

until the tears are done.

Afterwards, I buy him ice cream

and I listen to his laugh,

the glowing warm laugh

of a child who knows he is safe.

I wish someone could

have done that for him.

Been a kind, safe place

for the child he used to be.

Would it have made a difference?

Would it have made a difference?
