Come again and take me too

My dad lost a father and my mother, a hero.

You left us and went away nana it wasn’t fair this way.

I’ve never felt this pain before. It burns, I can’t explain.

A fire in my pit, my organs flaming up.

I just left your home nana why weren’t you there to wave.

The journey home was harder nana, we took your wife away.

Don’t you want her back nana? please come back to stay.

I didn’t say goodbye nana it hurts so much to say.

I hoped at your chest nana hoping it would rise.

Or a pinch to tell me hey, this dreams about to end.

I wish you didn’t go nana at least not alone.

please take me too nana I can’t live this way.

My heart aches and yearns nana please stroke my head once more.

I can’t take no more god, I’m too weak...for this prison you made.

Please take me first next time I didn’t come to stay.

My tears have all dried up now, you've left a void too grave. 

You rolled the die this time nana and I lost the game.

 I’m sorry to have failed you nana. I’m sorry.

The acuteness of the grief in this one is painful to read. The apparent sense of guilt mentioned at the end makes it even more painful, because it is so unnecessary. If the dead survive somewhere else, I cannot believe they would want those left behind to feel this way.

Yes although the guilt links to a lot more I couldn’t mention but hopefully someday. Thank you for your kind review John it’s much appreciated.

"You rolled the die this time nana and I lost the game." great line.
Regrets are much needed to keep us on track on our path to have patience and empathy.
