Mom...

It's been a minute since...

I felt embarrassed...

It still amazes me

Of all the things I miss...

It the things that irritated me most...

I can still see your smile...

I hear your laughter

But I'll never forget 

The fear I heard in your voice

Just remembering 

I saying it going to be okay...

You knew I couldn't accept 

What I struggling to accept now...

I can't come home to you...

Dad...

It took a little time but you alright 

Unfortunately...

I'm not...

Not even in the slightest 

I am so grateful for all days...

But our last together is most treasured 

You said I love you...

By saying I missed you.

You cried...

By laughing with me...

You comforted me in ways..

I'm only beginning to understand. 

May not have been when I needed 

But my God dad you were always on-time 

After grandma died 

I seen how it affected you

So I made sure I had a key 

To unlock the door when I came home...

Now I can't come home 

My keys no longer work

I can't get to you or mom

And I can't smell your scent 

I can't touch your clothes 

Sit at your table...

I can't even envision 

You and mom walking and talking 

With a broken heart dad...

I can no longer come home
