Baseball Jersey - Bruce Yamada (Poem)

!!Slight Angst!!

Y/n writing in their journal:

*-Baseball Jersey-* 08/30/1978

I wipe the fallen tears from my face

I can't believe he became a case..

Another missing child case, just another missing space.

No one's looking anymore

It rattles me to the core

How could anyone want to hurt him?

He was so sweet, he's the reason the birds would tweet

He did community service

And even though we were dating he still made me nervous

Everytime he looked my way

It would make my mind stray..

The way his smile could lighten any room

Now everything is just full of gloom

The way his eyes seemed to sparkle when he was happy

Oh yes, I know, this is sappy...

But he's gone

Long gone, no where to be found

Not even a small sound.

All I have is his jersey, the one he wore for every game

Seeing the number '27' just doesn't feel the same...

His helmet and bat sit in a case

Waiting for their owner to return

And that's how they will stay until he comes home

Home to me

Home to his family

And home safely.

My love, Bruce Yamada, has been missing for 5 months

So for now, I sit alone in my sorrow

Sulking and waiting for my boy to return home

With nothing to remember him but his baseball gear

And every night, I look at him jersey in the case with his helmet and bat..

Praying he'll come back

(Sorry this is kinda angsty😪)
