For my Dad - Rapando Sr
For the days gone by,
Filled with voids of joy and half smiles,
Moments spent trying to mend open scars...
But,
I choose to live with an open heart,
Lest I lock you out of love.
I want to hold on to memories and moments
And wishful futures that constantly fade away
With each passing noon.
Or,
Maybe choose each day to live anew.
But still,
I live with a void I never knew,
Waking up knowing your voice is no more,
Knowing that your radiance lives deep down now,
That I have to deal with an open wound
Constantly poked fresh from tears that run freely inside,
Wishes of your presence that overwhelm my courage,
And remind me of the weaker me deep inside.
I don't want to forget you,
I never want to lock you out,
I even doubt if I'll ever see tomorrow,
For hope and future boil in the same couldron
Strirred by witty Fate.
Maybe, it'll remain wishes and smoke
But still,
You aren't all lost,
Your absence assures me of a hope.
Though skies may turn grey and blue,
Though fields may turn green and brown,
My heart still beats for days unknown,
Mending a future without a piece,
Rewriting history with a reserved empty seat,
But in its emptiness you'll always reside.
