Heavy Tears

A picture of a wreath

stood among the lines of stone.

The circle made of flowers

was the very first thing I saw.

When I realized what I was

looking at, reality turned raw;

The ground crumbled from beneath,

I couldn’t believe the scene in front of me.

I wanted my eyes to be mistaken, but at

That moment my heart ached endlessly.

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 would give to have that one more chance again.

I never got to ask you why you acted like you did.

It isn’t easy to forget all that chaos as a kid.

Someone must have hurt you in a way you could not explain.

I know now you never meant it, but you caused so much pain.

I’ll never hear you apologize for all that you did wrong.

I’ll always remember “Daddy’s Girl” and how we sang along.

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

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