Father

A Poem by en skygge
"

it's been over 10 years. I still love you

"
No matter how long it's been,
It still feels like a dream.
Pain exists and grows even stronger,
I don't know if I can take it any longer.

I still look at the stars every night,
Repeating your last words by heart-
'They might seem so far away,
But you,my son, will reach them one day.'

And I sure do try my best,
I don't leave my mind to rest.
Now and then I let a tear flow,
While watching the stars glow.

I don't remember your voice or face,
Only memory is this vast Space,
A summer breeze and cigarette smoke,
And two of us below the old oak.

Oh, how much I miss you,
If you only knew.
Stars, you and I,
Ten years have passed and I can't say bye.
