Love, if you are the
answer, could you have someone
repeat the question?

I have been chasing you
for so long
that I have scraped my knees
on the curb of eternity.

A beautiful smile.
A special face.
A special someone,
Like you with grace.
With eyes so blue.
A love so true.
A love so deep.
You're the one, I chose to keep.

Losing a father
isn't like having your pet die
you don't just grieve
and then get over it
you get home
and your house smells of death
and there is an absence
in your heart, in your life
that cannot be filled by anything
Losing a father
especially like I did,
when I was so young
i was old enough to remember him
but not old enough
to have any amazing memories with him
I lost a father
and I feel that loss
every **** day
its an ache in my chest
its an empty void, a chasm,
in my bleak life
I lost a father to death
and the pain will stay
until I am lost to death, too.

Did it hurt when you walked in
and saw your lover
and your friend
in the bed that you had pledged
silent promises to one another in
Did it hurt when your mother called
and told you that something happened
and you need to get home right now
because your sibling isn't okay
Did it hurt when your first pet
took its last breath
and you couldn't cry
because it hadn't hit you yet
that death came so quickly
Did it hurt when you fell from grace
Did you bruise?
Sometimes it hurts enough to make you weep
But I didn't weep
Did you?

You, little one, brought so much joy,
You were more than a beautiful toy.
You turned sadness into laughter,
You just made our lives brighter.

Maybe for some, you were nothing.
But, hey!  For me, you were a darling.
I loved the way you looked at me,
It seemed like I am your best buddy.

Oh what a jolly pet you were to us!
But now you are gone, turning into dust.
I hated the way you suffered,
I was hoping your days weren't numbered.

Little one, you will surely be remembered.
I will treasure the love you offered.
And though it was a painful goodbye,
you still left me a look with a lullaby.
