Are you really there?

by J-Aquabuzz - Aquarius

Dark shadow upon the wall
Are you really there?
Whispers in the dark
"I love you, you know?"
Feeling my hair being flipped through gentle hands
Knowing there are eyes on me
"I feel like there is something I should say
There's regret that eats me alive"
A tear drop on my pillow
One that is not mine
Shutting my eyes tight
To keep you there forever
"I know..... I know"
"Stay, I cant bare for you to leave again
If you go, tell God Im coming too"
"I love you but I must go"
"NO"
Opening my eyes
The shadows fade
Alone in my room
No sound but your voice still in my mind
Then it fades too
I dont want it to
Just your voice
Thats all I ask for
I dont hear it anymore
I dont feel your hands stroking my hair
Its all gone
"Come back.......
take me with you."

Reason for writing:

    Thinking about my dad who died 2 years ago. He use to wait until he thought i was asleep then he would sit next to my bed, play with my hair, and whisper how much he loved me. This poem is about that and how much I want to see him again. Just once.
