MAY YOU REST

 

(A farewell to the one I lost)

I said good bye on that one faithful day no longer than about a year before today

I said that I would miss you

I said that I would be able to keep up with life in your memory

I said that you were a great inspiration

More than I had ever known

But now my minds blank with your memory

All I have there is that moment where I said goodbye

I never did understand why you had to go

I never did understand why I never did say goodbye before you left

So now I miss you that much more

But are you truly gone from me

I mean, down the tunnels of life

Even the darkest of times can be brightened up

With just one small shine of a candle fire

Even in the thickest of fogs

There are those roads that lead us away from the blindness

So, when I feel lost I think of the times you were really there

The times with nothing but your stories

The times when you would sit and listen to the stories that I had

The dreams that my young mind had

Those times have escaped my memory till now

With your exit of this playwright called life

I found that you are still here playing with your voice singing even louder than ever

Telling me of a story of a man that can move on

A man like me who could find his muse again

A man that was able to be there for others like you

How is it that your voice in my mind is so clear?

When so much of that day

In the desolate, quiet, and solemn grave yard is so stuck in my mind

Where I left a piece of me with you

A piece of the only thing that was able to keep me from falling apart

In times of the blackest storms

With you my muse died, and now

You come back and now I write

May your soul rest in its deserving piece

Good night.
