Sometimes too many, sometimes to less
Easy to let go, hard to catch
Like a breath just snatched away
A whisper lost in twilight's grey

A heavy silence, never broken
The memories creep like shadows long
So many words still unspoken
A weight I've carried all along

A lonely thought, so much more
Time I chased but never caught
Dreams I simply adore
Fade with every waking thought

I didn't know how to tell
So I bled ink instead of tears
I didn't know how to yell
So I hid the pain away for years

A lot of sand, earth, and mud
Burying the grave, the silence tossed
The pain, the loss, the blood
Emotions not yet ready to be crossed

A little girl, brightly smiling
To the man she calls her dad.
But she has to leave, starts crying
He is sick, her mother said

She didn't understand,
What was wrong with him?
An answer she demand
But her mothers answers slim

A sickness in his head,
Not somtething to be fixed
"He was never there", she said
13, and still no answers clicked

The past, the present, hit at once,
A father but never quite a dad
All she wanted was the truth
Did that make her bad?

Now seventeen, she partly understands,
He truly loves her, she knows,
She grabbed her fathers hands,
And share the pain he shows

He hasn't been perfect,
But there were troubles in his mind
Sometimes lost in shadows
Searching for peace he couldn't find

A live once lived, once lost, once gone
Eyes forever closed, keys to everywhere
The heart, the pain, the memories
Forever lost with the keys
