Now by Eric Leon

Regret haunts me,

nostalgia protects me 

But my armor is suffocating me. 

Drowning in regret.

Everything reminds me of you.

It's like you're haunting me.

Causing the hurt. 

Five stages

Lasting a lifetime.

Sobbing in my sleep 

The perfect way

To get this emotion

Out. 

 

I'm still mad. 

I didn't see

Your final moments. 

I know you wanted 

To see me. 

But I couldn't 

Bear to see you. 

In that state. 

I just wanted to say:


I’m driving Oscar’s car 

I learned stick 

About to graduate 

College this time. 

Thanks for naming me

Eric too. 

Now I can carry you 

Everywhere.
