it is strange
to hear the unfamiliar words of
actor
associated with your name
because I knew you as someone else
someone who I loved
like family
who made me laugh.
who made me happy.
who made me cry.
when I first saw the news that you'd passed
and the words actor before your name
I didn't think of it as anything.
when I saw that it was you,
I couldn't stop the pain in my chest.
The stinging feeling.
The empty pit in my soul.
Was it painless?
Were you alright?
Who did that to you?
It's a swirl of hate and pain and sorrow.
I know that you're with the almighty now.
From above there, even if you don't know
Look down at me
And see just how well
You've helped raise me
See how well someone who
Admires you
Turns out to be
You,
You are the best.
To the memory and life of Kim Joo Hyuk. Who passed on this day early morning Eastern Standard time, October 30th 2017.
