The Siren's Song

Loss of a Parent / Family Member through Suicide
The loss of this
.Beautiful mind.
.Unplanned.
You entered a war
You did not
.Understand.
Fought tirelessly
Bare knuckle
.Life fighter.
Tried hard to hold on
Grip tighter
.Tighter.
For fear
They may think
You felt no love
.At all.
You struggled with life
And the
.Siren’s Call.
But NO
Stop
No need
.To explain.
Your love was a fire
That burnt out
.its flame.
Too soon
YOU
Our mountain
.our hero.
Our vibrant volcano
Our ‘10’
(One – zero)
Sleep gently
mummy (daddy) of ours
You gave quality of years
in
.Power Hours.
Never selfish
NO
.Often brave.
Black dog danced
To twisted rave
Sleep safe now
pain is done
My ray
From a
.Perfect Sun.
Peeking
Through cracks
Light - seeping
Right back
You drifted right
.Back to Black.

Holding hard
Onto
Edges of time
Stark days
We hoped
our love
would fix
In a
Hundred ways
If we tried
Hard enough
Smiled
Hard enough
Cried
Hard enough
We could
ease
you
back
Like a hand
To glove
-
But sometimes
We can’t be
Where life thinks
We
Should be
And we salute
Forever more
Our mum (dad)
Our whole
Our core
So, warm
And bright &
full of fire
Elements sparked
Simmered
.
Tired
.
.
But
.
You
made us
Who we are
And proud
Of you
Forever more
And though
We shared
A bumpy ride
Forever
you are by my side
We love
You near
We love
You far
Eternal
B E C A U S E
Of
Who
You
Are
