Literature Text

I lay the rose on your grave.
Today I stop being brave.

The time taken to grieve.
Given as a small reprieve.

The tears I let fall are trapped in midnight.
Brought on by the still twilight.

My eyes scan the horizon-
As night takes the forgiven.

The stars capture my eyes-
While the dark takes the sky.

---

I hope that you can see me-
That I might just make it yet.

As I stare into the sun-
My eyes capture your Sunset Silhouette

---

My hands shake-
As the world quakes.

A small release of pent-up rage-
Tears of ink upon a page.

My words can’t bring you home.
Until they can I’ll roam alone.

Within the sun I see your ghost-
But it’s your presence I miss the most.

Though I know you’re still watching-
I’ll always be left wanting.

To make you proud-
And see your face within a crowd.
A poem wrote for dad on the anniversary of his death.

I miss you dad.

"A small release of pent-up rage, Tears of ink upon a page" This part was my favorite, the whole poem is lovely though. Beautiful.
