Staring at his picture
is all thats left
she can caress
she puts herself on a shelf
of memories she has felt
what she feels
as she looks out the window
hearing his music play
in her head
touches her thoughts
of tales sought
puts her in a tail spin
of the hurt shes been in
she lives in a shell of him
hanging onto every word he said
saw the sparkle in his eye
she never wanted
to say goodbye
she catches moments in time
to reminisce
he's the fierce man in her heart
that only exists
she wants to break free
of the family tree
still hanging on the limb
everyone sees
she's an image of him
it's her father Jack
she clings to
to bring her back
