Not a month goes by without The reminder that my dad Isn't here anymore. Not a day goes by, That I am not reminded Of the fact that I am In all essence of the word an orphan. With no family to rely on. Not a second goes by That I am not reminded Of the fact that you Are gone and I still need you. And it's not easy, Figuring who I am now, Without you. Time doesn't pass unnoticed. I am reminded of your absence With every second you are gone. Like a bad joke, And I just don't get the punch line.
