Passing On The Burdens Of A Lost Soul To A New One Poem by Kellyn, A Grau

My heart sinks as I think of the days
When I was little and you'd help me learn
You'd teach me life lessons and brush off my wounds
Kiss my cheeks and whisper I love you
But it seems now, fates taking a twist
Your not doing well and I can't help but admit
I'm scared for your life and I'm scared you'll be gone
I'll turn around and I wont here your song
My world will grow darker, my heart will be bare
You are the only one who knows me
Completely inside and out
Yet it seems your time here on earth
Is starting to lessen as the days pass by
My heart holds my tears but they'll never shed
Unless it's to weep by the side of your bed
Knowing you've lived life to the fullest
But I can't help but miss you if you go
If you were to leave, I'd have no one left
No one to call me and make me smile
No one to tell me I'm perfect in every way
That nothing can stop me and I'll make things my way
I look up to you, and the lessons you teach
I anticipate the next time we get to meet
Because distance is placed between you and me
In other areas in this large country
So I sit by the hands of time
And hope they give you more to live on
Because its been some time sense I've received your hug
The one that can make me smile no matter what's wrong
The one that makes me feel so safe and warm
I cant help but admit I'm scared things will be bad
That I'll have to be the savior for everyone's hand
I'll step up and take my mother's place
Turn as cold as ice and be there for everyone but me
So in the darkness, when I'm all alone
Can be the only time I'll let my feelings go
Though I should have known it come down to this
After all, I am my mother's daughter
And she wants me to inherit her sorrows
Take over her burden and make it my own
Perhaps I am lost and will lose control
I'm to young to do this, I can't see quite clear
But yet I'll try hard to make this act real
Some how I'll make it through the dark times
And hopefully never have to cross that line
