Losing You

I have lost
friends
Over the years
I have experienced 
Pain
Greater than
the
Average 
Joe
But
Losing 
You
Dad
Is
Something 
I 
Could
Never
Prepare 
For.

I wanted
To
Say
The
Final
Goodbye 
But
time
Stole
This
From
Me

Whispers 
In
The
Wind
Tell
Me
That
Your
Energy
Remains 
Vibrant
And
Alive
Though
The
Distance
cannot
Be measured
As
It formulates 
From
Another 
Dimension 

My dreams
My memories
My subconscious 
Extends
My spiritual
Hand
Hoping 
For
Just
A
Brief
Connection
So
That
the
Soul
May find
Solace
Knowing
It is
More
Than
Dust
To
Dust

Yes I have
Felt
Pain
before
Yet
in this
Instance 
Life
Has
Breathed 
Its poisonous
Breath
To
Remind
Me
that death
Will
not 
Discriminate
And
The fatherly
Love
That
I have known
A lifetime
Is permanently 
taken
In this
Existence 

No fillers
are available
No
Words
Of
Comfort
Will
Satisfy
This
Void
Just
A gnawing 
Reminder
That there
will
Be
More
To
Come

Selfishly 
I hope
I am
Next.....
