I’ve actually spent a few days in Subways writing this. Rare that I take a few days on anything. I prefer the now. Rarer still that I publish a work in progress, but I felt the need to get this out! I am writing this for @ohdoctah. I don’t know what it’s like to lose a hero…but this attempts to understand.
All the things we did together
All the time we passed
Had nothing on the peace you gave my heart.
Cannot be replaced. Never.
When people ask me if I miss you
I’ll say I don’t.
Cuz when I open my mouth
I hear your voice
Words don’t work When things get hurt
The day you left
I was left bereft.
In silence you guided me
Your pride it abided me
Your love it tided me…over
From hello to goodbye.
Words don’t work
My jaw is frozen
When words collide
Stunned in silence
Your strength it pursued me
The world has confused me
Your love has abused me
From hello to goodbye.
Words don’t work When things, they hurt.
Nothing you say can suffice.
All the love you gave
Lets me to see through the lies.
Your words, they held me up then.
Your words, they hold me up now.
Cuz I can’t find you, I cannot find the words.
Thank you for all your actions.
All the deeds you’ve done.
I’m here because of you.
The walk I walk
The talk I talk
Was distilled by years of you.
When people ask me if I miss you
I’ll say I don’t.
Cuz when I open my mouth
I hear your voice
Words don’t work When things, they hurt.
Nothing you say can suffice.
All the love you gave
Lets me to see through the lies.
