Void voices

I wish you were on my speed dial

Only a phone call away

I wish I could hear your voice

And hug your tall frame.

I wish I could bother you

With the silliest of complaints

I wish I could turn to you

And be assured I was safe

I wish I remembered you often

Not just when I'm in pain

I wish your memories stayed

And not fade off with each day

I wish you would coarsely tell me

I'm here - things will change!

Daddy, I wish you were somewhere - alive

So I could stop posting poems and fly.
