Hero
Sorrow
troubles my thoughts
when
I realize all we're not
nor
ever will be in this life
When
I was young
I
idolized you
now
I just grieve
Why
did you stop
growing
and risking
shriveling
in your skin
There's
so much
I
want to know about you
locked
away in your shell
Each
choice you made
walled
off your voice
'til
silence is all that remains
Too
painful to broach
or
unfold all the past
shrouded
in your shame
So
in the years you have left
I
press forward
you
fade upon the horizon
Memories
remain of long ago
when
you were my dad
and
hero was your name
On
the other side of this life
on
that day
we'll
be restored
