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

42,940,800 seconds of silently saying
"I miss you dad"
