would i were there
upon your departure
the exit would have been
very much similar
yet similarity
does not dismiss
this absence
in any form
be proud of me
i held my tears
until gate eight
and a sunrise
and i was 'tired'
but there was no laughter upon my yawning
the same routine
sleep came nearly
and sleep came dearly
so eyes could see
and weeping has left
my side in this
yet i would almost
wish for tears
to honor where you are

im so sorry we didnt wait with you.
