Xylene

All these things are only a small representation of that which you were.

 

To be honest

 

These are

only the things

That I recall

You being to me

Being for me

 

I refuse to Sanctify you

I refuse to Demonize you

 

You Sir

 

Gone so many days

Missed for so long

Moons have passed

 

Pleasures which I

I prayed you observed

 

Millions of events large and small

have come and gone since that day

 

Most of which

are insignificant

 

Many of which

will never be complete with out you having been there

 

You are gone

these things are what you were

 

you are still alive in me

so they are things that you are

 

and I have to accept that I am.

 

It has been 9 years and counting...
