Confetti


They were whispers in the dark 

Your voice played like a melody in my heart

My dreams were a diary of your memories

The only living soul who knew what you could've been


You had a life so full and bustling 

And I was glad to just be a part of it 

Amongst the confetti there was a constant overbearing

A daunting voice saying this wouldn't last


I counted my blessings and you a hundred times

A hurt locker I've been trapped in too many times

But now I swallow the key and allow myself to feel

Every shred of grief that will keep you forever with me


You had a life so dauntless and thrilling

A hundred last chances for anyone deserving 

Kindness is paid for a legacy worth celebrating

Amongst the confetti and constant suffering


As you make your way to the golden gates

And climb these stairs to take your place 

Know your life wasn't some rare happenstance

It hangs around my neck like a locket that can never be tarnished


As you settle into the afterlife 

Know your life was a celebration of time 

That spanned decades and heartaches alike 

Amongst the confetti in the midnight sky.
