Know It's Me: Poetry

1955-2021

I know the sky's never felt this dark before,
And I feel for the ones left behind,

Because even the strongest, the steel in these walls, they get bent and get warped over time,

We put on this face like we're ready for war but inside we're just dying to cry,

And there's no deeper pain that I've ever felt than crying for someone whose died,

It's okay to feel broken and have to rebuild, but it's painful to swallow this pill,

Our loved ones are lost and there isn't a cost that can save us from paying this bill,

With my hand on my heart as I look to the stars I go crazy just hoping you're there,

I know that I'm loved I'm surrounded by friends but it still feels like nobody cares,

My brain turns to water, my mind gives a damn but my eyes are still bursting with tears,

Your soul has moved on, your no longer in pain but we're selfish and wish you where here,

While we morn your death we're inspired to live, cause you lived life without any fear,

So when you meet (Hey-Zeus)Jesus or whatever's his name I just hope that he gets you a beer.

And we'll crack one here.
