Tears of Stone

I saw your grave in a picture.

The wreath was what I saw.

When I realized what I was

looking at, reality became raw;

The ground crumbled from beneath

I couldn’t believe what was in front of me.

I wanted to be mistaken. But at

that moment, my heart began aching.

It's hard to understand the sadness that tears me apart.

These tears weigh heavy on my heart.

I reflect on what our relationship could have been.

What I wouldn’t give to have the chance again.

I never got to ask you why you treated me like you did.

It isn’t easy to forget about the chaos as a kid.

Someone must’ve hurt you in a way that you couldn’t explain.

I know now that you didn’t mean it, but you caused a lot of pain.

I’ll never hear you apologize for the things that you’ve done wrong.

I’ll always remember "Daddy’s Girl" and how we both sang along.

It breaks my heart that I didn’t have the chance to say goodbye.

Just so you know - ever since I was small, Dad, you were my favorite guy.
