Blue eyes for your daughter
Freckles for your son
But they weren't the only ones
To feel all the love
That you had inside
Even when you tried
To show otherwise.
A family shattered
Losing another son who didn't feel
Like he really mattered
Parents who had to grieve all over again
A younger brother who lost his best friend
Now I know what the phrase means
I hope I never see
That look again
It's much too haunting.
So many people that cared about you
No matter how you thought
About yourself on the inside
People have memories
Most are good
The ones that aren't dared to be spoken
Around those of us that are truly broken
By losing you
In a way we could never see.
Then there's me
The one who loved you
No matter what you tried to do
To push me away
I was there hoping and dreaming
Until the very last day
What you left behind
Love, potential happiness but not a perfect life.
