The pain is visceral
Rooted in blood and memory
I never knew a sadness so deep
A lag in my breath
A gouge unhealed
A stolen tomorrow
The unsaid sealed
Goodbye father
Goodbye friend
Not for nothing
Not for nothing
Gone from this plane
Never seen again
Stories untold forever hidden
At morning I rise
In mourning I weep
More sorrow tomorrow
To deal I sleep
A lag in my breath
A gouge unhealed
A stolen tomorrow
The unsaid sealed
Goodbye father
Goodbye friend
Not for nothing
Not for nothing
I choose to honor you
With empathy and truth
Working through the
Emptiness you've left me with
A lag in my breath
A gouge unhealed
A stolen tomorrow
The unsaid sealed
Goodbye father
Goodbye friend
Not for nothing
Not for nothing
