The Day You Didn't Reply To My Voice

I slept uneasy,
I was tired and didn't ask God to protect you,
Forgive me, for I believe had I not been selfish and prayed for your life
You would have been with us.

 Instead, I woke up to a silence that shook me.
That was the only day you didn't respond to my voice,
The only day I called papa papa and you didn't open your eyes to look at me,
That day you left us, left us to live without you.

 I miss you,
I miss that pure smile,
I miss that selfless aura around me,
I miss saying Papa.

 They say, you are with me, you are watching me,
I ask you, if its true then why dont you reply to my voice?
Why dont you place your hand on my head the way you did?
Why did you leave me?
Why didn't you open your eyes when I shouted papa?

    Un-break my heart
    Say you'll me again
    Undo this hurt you caused
    When you walked out the door
    And walked out of my life
    Un-cry these tears
    I cried so many nights
    Un-break my heart

    The questions are similar, the emptiness is the same, the pain is not unknown to me, the yearning I can feel too, my heart aches when I read about my little sister in pain, my eyes fill with tears when I see the same questions being asked again.

    Trust me, I say from my experience, he speaks through your voice, he sees through your eyes, he lives on through you ...

    Just remain connected with your inner being because that is the home he nurtured while he lived and resides in even today.

    Thanks for opening your heart up Sim, I know you are all grown up and all ... but call me I will always be there when you need me :-)

    The poem was very touching and straight from the heart. Loss is so painful we get completely overwhelmed...
    love you loads
