It's been a year,

I am not sure how,

But it has,

I don't want to accept it.

A year ago from today,

I was crying like crazy,

And I still am,

People say time heals wounds,

But my heart is still shattered,

Since the day you left,

I still visit your favorite tree,

You have a brother now,

And I still have your very last bowl of food.

A year ago from today,

I was in the shed crying for hours,

Holding your toys,

For it was the only thing I had left of you,

The toy I wasn't able to give you,

It now stays in my room on my shelf.

A year ago today,

I walked several miles,

Calling, 

And looking for you.

A year ago today,

Is when you left us.
