"I Will Never Stop Missing You."

As the days go on,
I continue to cry.
Everything reminds me of you,
as I look upon the sky.

As if I would see you,
from way up there.
Wishing you would say something
as I quietly stare.

I do this a lot,
almost every day.
I look up, hoping to see
the face that has slipped away.

Today is your birthday,
would have been 18th.
No one saw it coming;
death is unseen

I wonder what you would have wanted
as we blew out your candles.
As soon as the flames went out,
it was too much to handle.

You're not here
on your 18th birthday,
Each year I grow older,
but your age will always stay.

As the days go on,
I continue to cry for you.
I will never stop crying,
I will never stop missing you.
