It might have been nice
To give you a reminder
Instructions, possibly
I’ve only left you duct-tape
To fix what I’ve broken
So you see,
My father is gone now, passed away
“Keep on smiling”
Is what’d he say
But till this day
I can’t give way
To the tears when the children
Are out there in play
With toys at the park, unbeknownst to the fade
Of the memories at stake
Neurotic gold
Under sun’s rays
Opportunities - but in sickness of health
And I cry,
Yes I cry
How can anyone keep smiling
When my brain isn’t surviving
And I’m left with these tapes
Low quality, garbage
The only good videos are in my mind
But they are too now dissipating
So I just lay and never sleep
Or eat anymore,
In the white clean fresh room
Chained to the bed
_beep, beep_
One look at the window
Is what my head will allow
The only thing that it can do now
My muscles are weakened,
I’ve forgotten how to walk
And now to talk
So all I have left is my rotting mind
And the grin I’ve kept frozen all this time
For the day I meet him back in heaven
So I can say
“I’ve kept on smiling”
Can you fix me?
