In this photograph you are as distant to me as the sky is to mother earth.
My love for you flows a profound red through my veins as I cherish my warming memories of you.
This head upon my shoulders shudders as it reminisces the moment you left.
leaving me hurting like a lion's prey.
Ripping my once barred heart into several dark holy pieces; I embrace this nightmare with tears of dying emotion, while waiting for someone; anyone to wake me.
But this is no dream.
I woke up this morning looking for you to glance at me with that suit of happiness, and I found none.
Oh how I desire you to be here calling me childish nicknames, hugging me with your strong arms.
A teddy bear when with children and friends and a "Lion King" with your family you became a perfect figure within my eye.
I favored your familiar face when I needed courage and enjoyment in my life.
Now as I grow and learn from the agonizing ways of life, preparing myself for the hellish depths of society, you are not there.
I am steady reminded of your presence when smelling the cologne on my brother, once yours, breathing in the memories of your once brown skin that held my hand as a child.
Scarred, is my heart that fills with not joy but hatred that has yet to be healed.
How dare you leave me in this barren world that fills itself with iniquities fogging up the minds of individuals.
My red sentiment rest in peace, for you will always dwell within me.
