I shed a tear, I feel quite numb
they say "time heals", give it a while
remember all the happy times and smiles
and for a while it's true, I smile and laugh
enjoy my life, forget about the past
but reality shows it's ugly face, brings back all the pain
I have really only blocked it out, nothing much been gained
You surround yourself with photo's, and little treasured items
in an attempt to keep them close, raw withheld emotions
but still you seem so far away
nothing really brings you back
feeling so alone I pray
let me off this one way track
I would prefer to join you , than to go through all this .
these feelings make you cold and drained
I hope that you are well
not one person can really tell
but what brings a little piece of mind
is all the others they've left behind
remember that we're all the same
all our lives have changed
even though in different ways
we've got one common bond
each one of us has loved and lost
this special person left, and gone
here we are, all brought together SONS
parents, siblings and friends
it's time to say our last goodbyes
as they make their way, up to the skies
for some that might be it
over and complete
but not for me, oh no
this still goes on, this sorry show
the memories still live on
"it gets easier" . . . . but they're wrong
all it takes is just one thought
for these feelings to surface, still so fraught
some say they understand
been there, seen it, all first hand
but how could they possibly feel what I do?
You are my son , part of me ..
because you were one in a million
one of those shining stars
that's why I feel so troubled
with deep and wounded scars.
I will keep trying the best I can
Until we meet again..
