Pain
Dad, living with the ugly fact that you departed causes me nothing, but pain

When I call to mind the narrative of how you were murdered, I feel pain

Shot at point-blank range by somebody purported to be your friend

So great is the pain harbouring the fact that none of us got to throw earth on you

As if killing you wasn't bad enough
Your body was smuggled from the morgue and taken to... God knows where

Pain is when we long to visit your grave, but it's nowhere to be found

Yes, pain I feel, but when I ponder my existence I can't help it but smile

For you live through me and my siblings

With that reality at hand, the cloud of pain disappears

When pain is awakening pain, that's good pain.
