Death

Even after your death
the pain continues
seeping through my body
every bones and sinew

through hot fire and ashes
your memory lives on
though sadness remains
I know that you`re gone

please forgive my tears
for I find this so hard
missing your wisdom
can`t let down my guard

I`ll never forget you
now you dwell up above
wrap your wings around me
protect me with your love
