Clueless
and numb
I was standing still
At the door ,
Eyes still
Trying to
Figure out
How my world
Turned upside down.
Like in what ways
Should I console myself
That you are no more here
And why did you
left so soon
And us so alone ?
And now
My eyes are flooded
With memories and
Heart heavy with
Tons of guilts , that
Your eyes must have
Looked for me in pain
Your throat must have
Called out my name
And now I regret
Why I missed
your painfull scream !
The void inside and outside
gives me chills
And reminds me of
Your smile when we
Met for the last time .
And now when
I sit back quite and still
your brotherly shoulder is
what I miss .
I hope you’ll pardon me
For not being around you
when you really
wanted me to be
I hope all this was
Just a silly dream
But sooner or later
I have to accept
You left us all alone !
