"Nelson"

It’s been a while

A while or two

A long time coming

So I’ll write one for you

Two moons at your face

Full and bright

Mud at their core

Sinking into the night

Is it dark where you are?

I’m sure that it’s not.

I wear your sweater sometimes

Because it’s all that I’ve got.

Your scent long passed

Though the memory lives on.

Two bright lights still remain

But the rest is gone.

It haunts me, that day.

I still cry in my sleep.

A forever pang

That still stings me so deep.

Where are you right now?

I know you can hear.

I miss you so much,

I hope you’re at peace up there.

Though with all that has passed,

I can never forget.

The two moons at your face,

Those I can never forget.

Big brown eyes,

Full of life and of pain.

I hold tight onto hope

One day I will see them again.
