in the stillness of my memories,
i see your eyes fixed on me, my pigtails twirling
your fingers tracing the creases of my dimples,
oh, my sweet girl, you'd whisper
my heart whispered back, my papi

then you were no more

gazing through tear-stained windows,
please come home, my sole wish,
a desperate cry that goes unheard
felt deeply within my soul

then you were no more

gasping for breath, you slipped away, 
your ashes scattered at sea
carrying the burden of past sorrows
your truths adrift, forever lost


left alone again, with my tears
clutching the fragments of a broken heart
left to reconcile the daddy I never had
and a love that never arrived
the one who left long ago

you were no more

-Mic




Happy Birthday, Papi!

So much of your life remains a mystery. With your last breath, you took your reasons with you, leaving me with more questions. But I also know –no one bore a greater burden for the outcome of your choices than you.

While my heart always longed for more; my yesterdays I do not regret.

So until we meet again, Papi, te amo mucho, even for the person you were no more.
