I have buried you and filled your hole with dirt And on your grave I've planted This ink. One day a tree will sprout and on its leaves they will read: 'here lies memories unmade here lies many things unsaid here lies a lie here lies me too, inside with me is the man I was waiting to become' I have buried you though you never lived For now you are dead, dad.
