Mom & Pop

I need another picture of you
To carry in my head
The last image is too painful
Of this man who was above me
Standing on my heart
He only relented because he died
And so leaving everything unsaid
Unspoken sorrow
Unanswered love

And you...
You used to be my home
My safe place
My haven from the storms
Of this unforgiving place
I wish you would come back and find me
I'm lost
And the words you spoke to me
Like a river
Ever flowing
Ever changing
Stuck with me
Like a brilliant scar on my soul
I can't apply them
I'm broken
The last look I had of you
As they wheeled you away
Was of your eyes
Like dying stars
