For now I am aware

You warned me that this day would come
but I just couldn't see the signs.
Too busy with my own life
to read between the lines.

I'm left to pick up where you left off
Its the burden I must bear.
I owe you at least that much
For now I am aware.

Aware of why you did the things
I did not understand.
I guess I didn't notice
until I saw them firsthand.

Who knew she was a burden
She kept it hidden well.
Using you as cover
until you bade us farewell.

I'm still unable to grieve for you
as I must be strong for her.
My heart is very heavy.
My life is all a blur.
