You are gone now

And this old house has no more sound

I feel empty here, without you here by my side

Now that your life is done

I feel guilty, because you died alone

I wasn't there

In your time of need and despair

This can't be real

I don't want to believe that it's true

I miss you more everyday

Before you left I wanted to say

I love you, I miss you already and I'll see you again

You were more than my friend

You were my family, my blood

And no matter how loud I yell

Or how hard I cry

Or even how much I destroy

Nothing will ever change that

I tried hatred…but it wasn't enough

I tried emotionless…it never helped either

I tried and tried everything…

And nothing could stop the throbbing pain

I am sorry Tio,

I did love you

All the words I said the night before

I am so sorry

I was so stubborn and naïve

To the fact that when you walked out the door

You might never come back

And you didn't

You left me alone

But I won't cry because I know that you're smiling

I won't yell because I know you're at peace

I won't forget because you are still a part of me

I will laugh and embrace each day

And remember the times you helped me along the way
