Is this goodbye?
I can almost feel it,
It's some what distant.
It's heading this way.
I gear up tightly,
grab a jacket,
an umbrella to block the rain.
It's getting windy now,
growing stronger every day,
there is no way to stop its doom.
The sadness envelopes me,
The tears provoke me,
I can run, but there isn't much room.
Facing the pain,
the monster of all fears,
As if it's found defeat.
Holding on to nothing,
fighting the resistance,
the weather is on repeat.
Then it passes,
the damage is done now.
How do we all go on?
Saying goodbye,
left is a torn existance.
A loved one is now gone.
Rebuilding the wall,
carefully now,
It will take us some time.
A delicate nature,
my heart is shattered.
Goodbye father of mine.
"For my dad, whom i love very much."
