Marks the 8th Year of Richard's Disappearance

And now we have to make sense
Out of the senseless
Everyday life carries us along
But someday someone has to pay
They have to answer for their acts
And I don't mean some final judgement day
But here and now
On this earth and in this life
You left a life unfinished
You left a song unsung
Memories to be made
Stories to tell
A Grandson to raise
There were fish to catch
And balls to throw
Pucks to shoot
And girls to love
There was music to hear
And concerts too
Sunrises and sunsets to toast
And marvel at their beauty
Christmas mornings to open the gifts
You put so much thought in
All that and more is gone
Why
Somewhere there's an answer
Somewhere there's a reason
And a person
Who put a plan in motion
Richard Petrone, February 7, 2013

I wish I could put in this message what I feel in my heart but that's impossible. I love you and think about you everyday. You will always have a huge place in my heart. Love, Joe

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been lying to myself
Waiting for someone else to do justice
Wanting someone else to do the dirty work
Every day I rise and fall
I try and I fail
I push and push and push
Looking for answers
Sometimes I wonder
Were you ever really here
There's no urn with your ashes
No marker for your bones
Just a box of cd's and ticket stubs
And every card you ever sent me
Memories of a life
Well heaven's no closer
And the angels are older
As I stare out at the ocean in Asbury Park
Another birthday, another wasted year
Time is running out
A reckoning awaits and
Heaven and hell are just around the corner
You were in love with the night
The magic and the music
But you forgot what our old friend said
You forgot the lurker
The thief in the night
He stole your dreams when he stole your life
Someday I'll forget about you
As soon as my heart stops breaking
As soon as forever is through
