The pain never left since my dad died,
Tears fall every night as I try to hide.
Lost and alone, I struggle to survive,
Wish I could talk to him and feel alive.
My mind slipping away, how do we survive,
All I have left are memories to revive.
My heart stopped beating as he laid at rest,
Can't escape the thoughts of mortality and final test.
Wish I could see his face one last time and attest,
That my dad, my hero, the very best.
We must accept the path chosen, accept our fate,
And embrace the pain, that in death will liberate.
