This walking shell holds your ashes tight
Close to my stitched up heart
You and I, we wont ever part
Your blood pumps through this body
Your thoughts spark in my mind
Images fill these tears
For you and me
It has been four long years
I can still hear your voice
On the other end of the telephone cord
Miles between
But distance could never keep us
You wear your medals proud
Your voice booming loud
Louder than that contagious smile that you threw around
So freely
I try to remember new things every day
But these torn memories begin to fade
Your dying heart
Like this skinny love of ours
A piece of you in my every part
I’ll carry you with me always
Your jokes they echo in my head
You repeated them oh, so often
And still I can’t remember one..
How can two people so close
Become so divided and chained so far?
And through this world so black and white
Your colour will always shine through the brightest
And although every night I’m knocking at your door
It seems as though your in-between world may be
keeping you
But just in case you forgot
Tomorrow marks an important day
And it’s not the day of your death
I’m so proud of you dad…
For coming so far..
As tomorrow marks your 1,460th day
Of being clean and sober
And with only a few hours away
“Here’s a drink to your bones that this dog still
Dreams about”
♥ ♥ ♥ I'll hold this loss in my heart forever ♥ ♥ ♥
