A FALLEN STAR

Daddy, today you're gone.
Today, mommy said we're gonna put you back into the earth, where you've come from before.
There's dirt on your coffin, the one we bought for you, its shiny, brown and smooth.
But there's dirt on top, filling the void, not the one in my chest, but the one in the ground.
I put a flower on top seconds go, the white roses lay basking in the gloomy atmosphere.
Tears that could fill an ocean, spilling out of each eye.
It's eerily silent and it feels like nighttime, like right before I go to sleep.
Where I'm staring off at my ceiling and everything is calm.
Calm before the storm.
Except now the night is constant, and the night has become my life.
Daddy, today you're gone.
I've loved you every day since then.
Goodbye, rest easy,
Amongst the stars.
