in memory...

I have fallen into silence. 16 years I have missed you. So many days I have wondered about a bright future lost. I still remember those tears hitting that pretty red paper. Christmas gifts from the deceased are heartbreaking to receive. I still remember fingers trembling pulling pretty silver from a velvet box…. This morning I put your earrings on, pushed my hair behind my ears, squeezed my eyes tightly closed around your memory and wiped away fresh tears.

I miss you David….I still miss you.….

Achin’….

Well, I was born in a small town

And I can breathe in a small town

Gonna die in this small town

And that’s prob’ly where they’ll bury me…
