As Difficult As It Sounds

Nonnie, i want you to know i still think of you,
only one out there who could still love you,
i miss you, i wish i could just hear half your breath and kiss you,
even though i barely came to see you, i sure as hell still miss you,
i wish we could have one more moment, one more family event,
you kept some members from leaving, since you left they've gone and went,
we moved to a new house where your grandsons are mostly bent,
over the toilet since we're mostly gone and spent,
over thinking lost chances, wanting closure,
the boulder on our backs only makes us bolder,
the scars worn on our hearts only makes us colder,
if i had blood your body could have held i would have been your donor,
sorry i'm a stoner, and the loner of the year,
haven't stepped foot in a church since i shed that tear,
standing on the stage overwhelmed by fear,
searching for the music going from ear to ear,
Nonnie, i wish i could just hold you one more time,
wish one more Christmas dinner would just once again be fine,
wish the list of family cards we receive would once again be on the incline,
we've lost the most important piece, the strong Vitale spine.
