Analysis of It's Been 10 Years

milytia boddeker 2010 (Washington)



Dad, you're in the stars
I always wonder where you are
I miss you
you've been gone since I was two
years have gone by
as you've been in the sky
are you proud of me?
You never got to your surgery
your death hurt
and there's been a hole in my heart
since we've been apart
10 years
it's very clear.
I miss you Dad I wish you were here
