brave face

Brave Face

You needn't display

A brave face to me

Can't impress me

With stoic ways

I can feel your pain

Even when you deny it

The invisible strings tying us 3

Grow stronger

Though it feels, as though they're getting cut

These last few breaths

Will sustain memories

Evermore

He will live there

In the same room

As your first steps

Bicycle ride, and heartbreak

You will be carried along

Into the ether of conciousness

To be his sustaining comfort

His crowning acheivement

For all time

Relish each tear

Each stroke of a hand

Indeed, every knowing glance shared

These, are the ties that will bind you

As well as the winds that will lift you

Through trevails of life

Put away that brave face

Through the tears of loss

All will be gained
