Nisa’s memorial

You Left me

You’ve gone for other shores

I try to follow

Like I always have

Now you want to leave me?

I scream

I cry

I grab at empty air

But you aren’t there

My tears dry where they fall

But they won’t

Bring you back

Slowly Slowly

The tears stop falling

You are gone

Where I can’t follow

No tears will bring you back

Back to me

You left me

How could you leave me?

I was always there for you

You were always there for me

Now you leave

For shores I can’t follow

Now sorrow stays within my heart

Another burden for the weary

Another burden

A burden for the over burdened

Mind, Soul, Heart

They cry as one

But you won’t come!

I come to speak

To speak my secrets

But you abandoned me

I couldn’t even see

Before you died

Now sorrow

Now anger

They both lie heavy

Comfort,

You were always there

When I was sad

Now I must go elsewhere

Now I must look within

To find my comfort

Now I must carry

My own burdens to heart

Now I must pretend happiness

Though I hear your name

And soon I cry

But now I dry my tears

Now is a time for happiness

I am glad you feel no pain

You are happily galloping in your field

Your field in heaven

You bear no more burdens

Now I am glad for you

Though your name still makes me sad
