Deadly Rhymes and Laughing Times VOL I

Guardian Angel (Gone But Not Forgotten)

***Pic from G Images***

A tribute to all people we lost....

I slowly make my way to your grave
Do i cry? Break down? How do i behave?
You used to walk this ground with me
But now you're resting down beneath

One day you're here, and the next you're not
And the next I'm here, feeling like I'm shot
I gently place the flowers on the ground
Lilies and blossoms; your favourite compound

How would i have the strength to talk to you now
How would i speak without crying? How?
You were my saviour and hero and FRIEND
And that all went away since the funeral i had to attend

I saw them lower your body to the ground
Pack up and leave without a single sound
An eerie silence embraced the air that day
Because everyone was at loss for words to say

What's there to say now that you're not here?
How do I make this heart ache disappear?
How do i go on being here and alive
When you were the one who filled my life

How do i go on without this urge to cry
When I didn't even get to say good bye
I spent the next few days crying
And i spent the nights slowly dying

Then I'd lie awake thinking of our dreams
And feel my tears like running streams
And I don't know if i was asleep or awake
But i felt a my whole right side shake

When i opened my eyes, you were there
Standing in front of me...real like air
You told me that you felt my dismay
And that you're sorry you left that way

You told me you heard my agonizing tears
And wish you'd stay with me the coming years
You wished you could just hold my hand
And see me wear a wedding band

You said you wished for a lot of things
But not everyone who asks gets their wings
You told me not to worry and not to cry
But all i have to do is look to the sky,

Close my eyes and breathe in the air
And with every breath, you'll be there
With every rising moon and setting sun,
You'll be there. Have been since day one

You told me not to worry or shed a tear
Because you being gone is loud and clear
You said you'll always be there to keep me safe at night
And keep the nightmares at bay; out of sight

You'll always be there, through thick and thin
Be my guardian angel; from deep within
I can't live without you but maybe I'll survive
To honor your legacy and keep your memory alive

I know you're gone, but not dead per say
Because you'll stay with me every step of the way
