Love Poem: Padre De Sera

Padre De Sera

He just laid there, ignoring us all
Hibernating like a “lost Boy”
Colorless, like the breath that used to be
He looks like no one I’ve seen

Eyes on him, judging, mocking, loving
Mine were in disbelief, cold, numb
I quit on the greatest show of all 
Pup tents in my heart

Not for me, so my sibling wasn’t alone
Tear ducts, barren and dry
I love her, I loved him
We’re products of my father’s demise

Glanced over at the human shell
Realizing my father left two days ago
His soul gone to who knows
I was looking at my reflection
