I close my eyes and see your face
That endearing smile that melted hearts.
I tighten my eye lids down
For fear of losing you all over again.
Tears seep through the cracks
like a river slides between rocks and sand.
Although I am consumed with grief
I find tranquility and solace behind my closed eyes.
To open them, brings the stark truthfulness of reality.
The realization of your passing and the acceptance of my broken heart.
I keeping asking why? Why?
But no explanation will change or soften this blow.
My faith in God is now challenged,
Yet my faith in mankind seems somewhat restored,
Such is the compassion and kindness being bestowed upon us.
Your absence has brought about an outpouring of love
Relationships have been made and others mended by you.
You will never be far away from me
For, I can keep you in my sight
If I just close my eyes.
