Tears
for Allen
Tears for Allen fall like
rain,
unobstructed they release
the pain.
My heart and soul refuse
to let you go,
just one more chance to
grab your toe.
We had no idea when you
took your last breath,
the impact of your passing
would have such depth.
Our souls have been stretched
as far as they can go,
a love so grand and a pain
so low.
These tears I cry when
I weep,
the longing for you when
I sleep.
You just arrived when you
were snatched away,
why oh why weren't you allowed
to stay.
We struggle to find meaning
in a life so cruel,
did we do something wrong,
did we break a rule.
We hold on to the memories
and the gifts that you gave,
finding a new place for
you, besides the grave.
You are forever in my life
and forever in my heart,
Take care sweet boy, we
will never be apart.
