I haven't cried for you lately,
where have my tears gone?
Have I been enjoying life?
What would me from 7 years ago think?
You were ripped from me.
Alone you died, scared,
without your daddy.
I was left behind,
bleeding from a jagged
wound in my heart.
There are no sutures able to close it.
But apparently I can somehow ignore it for some time.
Nate, it's not like I want to cry all the time, but I want to always be aware of the good parts of me I got form your life.

Dreaming

If we shared a dream, Ani.
What would you say to me?  I need your voice to speak love.
What music would play during our dance?  I need your feelings to live in this world.
Would you tell me about sunsets again?  I need your eyes to see beauty.
Would you talk about love?  I need your heart to treat others truly.
Would you share your faith?  I need your strength to keep me from flying apart.
If we shared a dream, Ani, I would need help waking up, because I wouldn't want to leave.
