Testi

He was not perfect
No father ever is
He carried old wounds quietly
Beneath the life he lived
He made his wrong decisions
He left some scars behind
But love is not always flawless
When it is still divine
He wanted sons once
But somehow I became
The daughter he kept calling
Through laughter grief and flame
He was father mother shelter
A brother and a friend
The one I kept returning to
When worlds came to an end
We had ordinary hours
Now holy in my chest
Drives complaints and stories
I never thought would rest
This is the irreplaceable loss
The wound no time can move
The hand that held my childhood
And left without a proof
The world became too wide that day
The sky became too far
I lost more than my father
I lost my safest star
Some losses do not leave you
They do not fade or cross
They build a room inside your ribs
The irreplaceable loss
The call came from his number
But it was not his voice
And suddenly the whole world
Had taken back my choice
They said "Come to the hospital"
But I had thought him well
One ring became a doorway
Between this life and hell
I saw the oxygen waiting
I saw the silent bed
And something stopped inside me
Before they said he was dead
He held my hand so tightly
Cold wet and final too
As if his last language
Was passing life to me through
Maybe he said "Be stronger"
Maybe he said "Goodbye"
Maybe he only held the child
He knew would break and cry
This is the irreplaceable loss
The wound no time can move
The hand that held my childhood
And left without a proof
The world became too wide that day
The sky became too far
I lost more than my father
I lost my safest star
Some losses do not leave you
They do not fade or cross
They build a room inside your ribs
The irreplaceable loss
Then came the ambulance
Our last road side by side
Not in the car we loved
Not on a laughing drive
No stories on the highway
No anger no advice
Just a siren tearing open
The mercy of the skies
 
I held a hand unanswered
I hugged what would not stay
Trying to make memories
From someone gone away
How cruel to love a body
After the soul has flown
To sit beside your whole world
And still feel so alone
Tell me what is preparation
When death enters like a thief?
What is strength to a daughter
Holding borrowed grief?
I saw him wrapped in silence
I saw them take him down
And every prayer inside me
Fell helpless to the ground
They took him from my vision
But not from where I ache
Some goodbyes happen once
Then every morning break
His laughter still comes driving
Through roads inside my mind
His complaints his little stories
The hours left behind
He had flaws he had failures
But grief does not count flaws
It holds the love remaining
And kneels before its loss
And I became a daughter
With a father-shaped space
Searching every silence
For his voice his hand his face
This is the irreplaceable loss
The wound no time can move
The last cold grip of someone
I was never ready to lose
The world became too empty
Yet too heavy to cross
I lost more than my father
I lost my home my boss
Some losses do not leave you
They do not fade or cross
They move into your chest forever
The irreplaceable loss
No one pays rent for sorrow
It simply comes to stay
Sits quietly in the heartbeat
And never goes away
 
He was not perfect
But he was mine
And when they covered him in white
I lost a whole lifetime
