Lost in Thought

I look at your picture and there I see
Of you holding your baby so tenderly
For some strange reason I cant explain
How I want to cry out and call your name
I cant bring myself to see your son
My grief and pain can never be undone
I can not accept the fate you chose
For you were the only one that knows
What did I miss that I could not see
How your death would affect me
Nothing I do can bring you back
Its not easy just the fact
There are things that I can do
I don't think your suicide was true
The thoughts that run around in my head
I still cant believe that you are dead
The sad truth is I find you the next day
The sight in my mind wont ever go away
I held you tight as I cut you down
So I could lay you on the ground
I removed the rope from around your neck
A sight I know I will never forget
I knelt down and looked into your eyes
I was in shock and didn't realize
The thoughts that ran in my head
Was Dad please forgive now Im dead
I just wish you would give me a sign
Maybe that would ease my mind
You never even left a note
Now I must try and cope
One thing I know will never part
The hole you left in my heart
So my son I have to say
I love you and miss you every day
