I remember when you were four I caught you drawing on the wall I couldn't get mad Instead I just laughed And I still have The finger print painting that you made In fact I had it framed I have every art piece you made To remind me that your always here with me spiritually All These tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's Holding you in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams We were at the hospital I was sitting beside your bed And you wiped the tears Underneath my eyes Then I heard you say Daddy please don't cry I like it better when you smile So I smiled Don't say no goodnights or goodbyes Yeah princess your my little fighter My inspiration, my perfection My saviour, my hope, my strength Your everything I am I'll carry that with me forever All these tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's Holding you in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams I still remember when I heard the doctor say (There's no heart rate) That line still haunts me Your mother and I fell to the floor Neither of us wanted to get back up It felt like we cried for hours And then I felt something give me strength Then I remembered what you said Daddy please don't cry I like it better when you smile So I pulled myself back up from the floor Took your mother in my arms Carried her back to the car You were every step You were every breath All These tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's holding You in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep And I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams I still remember when I heard the priest say May she rest with angels watching over her May they share there infinite love on high May they protect her blessed soul Let the Lord take her Into his loving arms To keep her safe from harm I said Amen to that princess And I've seen you in the stars Yeah you'll never be to far For we are always With in each other's hearts All these tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's holding You in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep And I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams Sometimes I sit in your empty room Imagine you playing, drawing Creating all those games You used to play With your vivid imagination A world of your creation It's like your still here I can feel your essence I can feel your presence In this place It's where I go to relive your memory That you left for me All these tear drops That fall upon the page Creating smudged ink stains As this pen bleeds Words drenched in sorrow An empty heart slowly fades Can't seem to find a way To release all this pain Can't seem to find the words to say I miss you each and everyday Can't find a logical reason to explain Why you were taken away Can't forgive God For what he's done Just hope he's holding You in his arms Keeping you safe and warm You got the voices of angels Who can serenade And sing you to sleep And I'll keep you safe Inside of your dreams ©2018 Written By Benji James

Tears Upon The Page

This is a fictional piece of work that I wrote back in 2015 I wanted people to experience and feel through a heart-wrenching piece of writing and this is what I came up with and the journey that I chose to take people on.
