Remembering You...

You left a void in my heart, a space that none can fill,

The excitement of being home now is oblivious and nil.

Not finding you there on the rocking chair, breaks me to pieces yet again,

The mustered courage shatters and what remains is just me and the pain.

When I close my eyes, it is you I can only think about

My pillow and I share the tears, the scars and the wounds...

The parting was difficult, the living is more,

I cannot accept you not being around,

Even if that means sleepless nights forever...

And when we meet again...

You can scold me for being the careless grandchild,

I would not say a word, the moment will be mine - ethereal and mild...
