Missing the dead

His contagious smile

An unending love

The times you've spent

Dearly beloved

But Disease strikes

You watch him fall

His body lay still

Not breathing at all

Touching his skin

Gasping from the cold

Once he's underground

He'll be rotting with mold

Stepping away

You retreat to your room

The loneliness is a comfort

You like reveling in doom

Theres a hollow pit in your chest

Now that your loved one is gone

You clutch at your collar

Feeling empty as dawn

You coat yourself in blackness

Tears marching down your cheeks

Your mouth set in a grim line

Feeling weaker than the weaks

You never dreamt this to happen

It's a curse you can't unbind

He's gone forever

Stop being wistful, don't be blind

Standing up from your corner

You face the cruel world

A blank, hollow husk

Eyes darker than hell

You respond to no one

Crying at night

Punishing yourself

Hiding from the light

Your heart grows weary

Your mind is dissolving

A puncture in your soul

God's plan evolving

Give in

Give up

You fall to your knees

Begging your loved one

Come alive for me, please

Dedicated to my Papi. I love you Bubba <3
