The clouds erupt in tears;
Winds thrash with fever.
The sky cries today;
Unrelenting tears making waves below.

Fish careen through the seas;
Swimming in reckless abandon.
Plants sweat with desperation;
Why is the sky crying.

Walls ***** to mask the need;
Raindrops race to feed.
Dogs hide to ease the fear;
Concealing the want.

A want and a need;
Grow and intertwine.
We mask what we need;
Announcing what we can not want.

A silent deception on the surface;
A loud discontent on all sides.
True grief on the inside
A hollowed out cube of family misconception.

Why did I only get to know you once you
passed?
If only i could go back in time;  
To before all the misinformation.
A solemn mistake I can not take back.

I’m sorry grandpa I really will miss you;
Please forgive all my misgivings.

Lay closer,
I need to feel you next to me.
Come closer,
I need you to be here for me.

Commands are useless
Pleas are meaningless
What I need is reality;
You are not here.

You will never be here again;
I live in perpetual denial.
Yet I still feel you.
Here I go again.

Please stay,
I need you to keep me sane.
