Gone 4 Ever

in

Any more of these snapshots would have depleted your superpower 

To have become very good at trapping sadness 

To change what you're thinking about in a moment so it doesn't strangle your being

You can't be suffocated now 

There isn't enough time left to breathe

This strength won't last forever

But maybe until you can't remember

🎶 mother, I know your face
father, I still hold your place...

My father's obituary is in the paper today.
My mother didn't have one because I believe my father wouldn't accept that she was gone. 
My father's funeral is at the end of the month.
My mother didn't have one because I believe my father 
wouldn't accept that she was gone.
That closure has never happened. 
That list of her life has never been written.
And it hurts because she deserved it.
And we deserve it. 
But at least, writing this, I get the honor of shedding tears again, now for both of them.
That can’t be taken away.
