Gestures
In Honor of the memory and life of my God Mother Gloria, Even though she wasn't in my life much, I know she is missed and loved very much by her daughters both Shelley & Heather former husband Fred Quenault and everyone that new and loved her. Sending hugs and kisses to you in heaven...
I shed a tear, I feel quite numb
another loss, thoughts of a dearly beloved one
they say "time heals", give it a while
remember all the happy times and smiles
and for a while it's true, I smile and laugh
enjoy my life, forget about the past
but reality shows it's ugly face, brings back all the pain
you've really only blocked it out, nothing much been gained
You surround yourself with photo's, and little treasured items
in an attempt to keep them close, raw withheld emotions
but still they seem so far away
nothing really brings them back
feeling so alone I pray
let me off this one way track
I would prefer to join them, than to go through all this again
it makes you wonder who'll be next?
these feelings make you cold and drained
Though you hope that they are well
not one person can really tell
but what brings a little piece of mind
is all the others they've left behind
remember that we're all the same
all our lives have changed
even though in different ways
we've got one common bond
each one of us has loved and lost
this special person left, and gone
here we are, all brought together
parents, siblings, friends and lovers
it's time to say our last goodbyes
as they make their way, up to the skies
for some that might be it
over and complete
but not for me, oh no
this still goes on, this sorry show
the memories still live on
"it gets easier" . . . . but they're wrong
all it takes is just one thought
for these feelings to surface, still so fraught
some say they understand
been there, seen it, all first hand
but how could they possibly feel what I do?
for they never even knew you
because you were one in a million
one of those shining stars
that's why I feel so troubled
with deep and wounded scars
each time I lose a loved one
a part of me dies too
they each take a piece of my heart
when that time comes for us to part
I wonder if that's when my time will come
when there's nothing left to take
with the fading of the sun, no reason to stay awake
