Angels [Pt. 2]
I remember picking up the urn
that held your ashes.
They were so much heavier than
I expected.
I was drunk off whiskey,
and it finally hit me.
You were gone.
You visited me in a dream last night.
We laughed.
We used to do that, remember?
I did something goofy,
you made a comment,
we shared a good chuckle.
You showed me what it means to be a real person.
You had your darkness,
like everyone,
but you had your light as brilliant
as anyone's.
You gave us everything you could,
and while I appreciate it now,
I wish I could've appreciated it more
then.
I blame myself for your passing,
I know I shouldn't.
I just wish you were here
to see things now,
see where we are,
as a family.
I called the sky tonight,
just wanting you to know
that the good so outweighed
the bad,
even if we couldn't see it.
I called, just to say
I love you.
Thinking of my Angels today, I guess. My step-father, Roger, was one of the kindest people that ever roamed this Earth.
