The Distance Between Us: A Tribute to Chadwick Aaron Boseman
The void I feel is as hollow as drum, a drum that beats no more to the rhythm of your soul. No amount of beats can suffice the pain I feel, a pain so deep that piercises my heart slowly.
Your beats beat on my drum softly till my heart filled with joy, joy filled with laughter till our eyes swelled up.
The void I feel is as hollow as drum, a drum that beats no more to the rhythm of your soul.
Trying to not cry and be strong as a bull. No amount of beats can suffice the pain I feel, a pain so deep piercises my heart slowly thinking of the day we first met.
That moment I knew I would find a son, a brother in you. A son, a brother I never had.
The void I feel is as hollow as drum, a drum that beats no more to the rhythm of your soul. I saw something in you that nobody saw, some say it is passion.
The void I feel is as hollow as drum, a drum that beats no more to the rhythm of your soul, my soul danced to the rhythm of your beat, the beat you beat on my drum, a drum that idles in a corner my house, my house became your house, filled your warmth and love.
The void I feel is as hollow as drum, a drum that beats no more to the rhythm of your soul, beats that filled the house from dusk till dawn to sound of your voice.
Your voice so deep yet so innocent like an innocent black child singing to the beats of the drum that beats no more.
The void I feel is as hollow as drum, a drum that beats no more, has a created a distance between us.
A distance no other beat can fill, for my soul dances to the rhythm of your beat.
The void I feel is as hollow as drum, a drum that beats no more to the rhythm of your soul, no beats can fill the gaping hole in the heart.
The distance between us will be filled, by the beats on your drum, to the rhythm of my soul.
Trying to be strong, trying to crying as you beat your last night beat on my drum to the rhythm of your soul.
Chadwick, my son, your beat on my drum softly beats to the rhythm of your soul.
For you are always in my heart as our souls beat to the rhythm of your soul, no matter the distance between us, our beat to the rhythm of your soul.
