Daddy, you said, 'I'll see you soon",
Soon is here but you're not.
"Keep this for me, I'll be back soon",
You did not come back.
"I'll go one last time. It'll be alright",
You didn't return and it's not alright.
"I can't believe, am finally going home",
You didn't realize it was your final home.
"It was a good trip but too short. Next time, I'll stay longer",
There is no next time now.
Final or infinite
Appearing really disappearing
Many stories, many tales spun
You're still gone and I'm all alone...
*All right, Good Night!" were your final words
Nothing's right, and
nothing's good about the dark of the night that still persists.
