Absent Not Dead

Here today, gone tomorrow
Left empty, emotionless, hollow
Now this burden I must bear
The price you pay to care

So now I'll set the scene
At home, relaxed, serene
A threat made on your life
Like a man you void to die

Absent, not dead
Things left unsaid
Taken too soon
Great flower in bloom

And I live with this pain
A major emotional drain
Whenever a part of you dies
Forever will your soul cry

Absent, not dead
Things left unsaid
Taken too soon
Great flower in bloom

You'll never be forgotten
You live in us all
The pain of this void
The fear that doth fall

You'll never be forgotten
Your memory lives on
Left to fling in the sand
And disappear, be more done
