Is It All Gone? Poem by Kerry Stacey

this place is so cold
this house can no longer be our home
this heart aches, for the pain is real
this head throbs, for the things it has seen

i can't believe anything anymore
i can't understand what is real
i can't stay here, and yet
i can't leave

who decided to give this pain?
who can i talk to, without going insane?
who is pretending to be there?
who is really helping me through?

home is supposed to be safe
home is a place for family
home is where we are together
home is where he was taken from us

when will i fell 'normal'
when will i know what normal is?
when can i get out of here?
when will god answer my prayers?

i know my dad was always there for me,
i know that he still is,
i know he's not here physically, and yet in my heart,
i know he is.
