How can the world
keep turning
when I can’t feel
anything anymore?
The absense of you
is everywhere
Even though you are
long gone
I cannot understand
why though
and I know it’s
not fair
you should be here
with us
I should be there
with you
Without you, the world is empty
and cold
Please tell me this
isn’t real.
Please tell me it’s just a
bad dream

Author’s note: This one I wrote shortly after my father died in 2023. 3 years and the pain is still so raw that I cried just typing this. I keep it posted in my studio now on the shrine to my dad.
