This is how I begin this one.
I pray...
How could you leave me broken
how could you leave me feeling blue...
When I was growing up I was taught not to cry...
And now that your dead I don't know what emotion...
Today I realized that this will not change.
Every tear will fall for a reason...
I fall down,
the tender ground...
Never will I ever forget my papaw's smiling face,
His eyes wide with knowledge...
You look at me
Directly in the eyes...
The news hits me,
Like ocean waves crashing into the shore...
I need you
I need you like sea needs fish...
Catch me in the air
that fills this room...
I've lost my love for the better
lost my mother...
When irises die,
and all my tears run dry...
