Grief is just love with no place to go
Wish you were here to hear me say
You were right everything did turn out fine
You said those words approaching your demise
And held the hand of your mother while she watched you die
You gave it all when life gave nothing back
Uncertain was the path when we were young
Braved the weather as the ruler of your storm
Flashed the leather as you conquered all your demons
And climbed the mountains just to meet them all again
But still, you walked alone
And hid your cancer from the ones you love the most
Traded the rain for the sun
As you rationed the sand left in the hourglass
Now that you're a ghost
I heard your voice as your brother spoke
The words of courage and strength at your funeral
All my fears of how my life may unfold
And how my past has got me in this chokehold
But if there's one thing I learned
Grief is just love with no place to go
Wish you were here to hear me say
You were right everything did turn out fine
You said those words approaching your demise
And held the hand of your mother while she watched you die
I know that when it's time
For me to say good-bye
I'll look back at my life and know I took the steps to make you proud
Separate
The grief I contain and its purpose
Formulate
The epilogue of your passing
Recreate
The light you shined on dark days
Decimate
Decimate the doubts I have inside me
