Analysis of 497 Days
Danica Emersleben 1991 (SA)
11928 hours
715680 minutes
497 days
71 weeks
It could be 1000 more
It can be 11927 hours less
Its still feels the same
Hurricanes
Tornados
I feel like a volcano
Silently erupting inside
Some days it spills all out
Yearning for your advise
Your silent comfort
Sarcastic one-liners
Who has a say in how it hurts
Who can decide on a day or even 100 more
Who can truly relate
When my heart feels ripped apart
When days drag on
Some more painful than the day before
1 year
4 months
10 days
42,940,800 seconds of silently saying
"I miss you dad"
