NOTHING SAID.

A FATHER TALKS TO HIS DEAD SON

Nothing said
or done
or written

or shown
will bring you
back to us

my son;
no amount of tears
or heartbreak

or wise words;
no apologises
from those

in the wrong
or who lied
or showingly

couldn't care less,
will bring you,
our son,

back to us
as once you were,
that aspect has gone,

is lost,
but we have you
in our hearts

and head,
here with us,
not in some

distant place
or land
of the dead.
