For Chester
All I know is that I seem to love you.
I watch you on the TV screen,
See your beautiful face and something
Pulls in my gut, some horrible warmth
And tenderness. You make me ache
Inside. I want to be your mother,
I want to be there when you perhaps
Felt like the way I seem to feel
Every minute of every day, and you let
A rope encircle your neck.
Your voice tears its way through my
Soul. I wish you could have stepped
Into my arms. I would have held and
Kissed you softly. But you are gone.
I'm alone without you.
I love you.
I watch you on the TV screen,
See your beautiful face and something
Pulls in my gut, some horrible warmth
And tenderness. You make me ache
Inside. I want to be your mother,
I want to be there when you perhaps
Felt like the way I seem to feel
Every minute of every day, and you let
A rope encircle your neck.
Your voice tears its way through my
Soul. I wish you could have stepped
Into my arms. I would have held and
Kissed you softly. But you are gone.
I'm alone without you.
I love you.

Your poem is a raw and deeply emotional tribute to Chester Bennington. The visceral connection you express with him through his music and presence on TV is palpable. The juxtaposition of warmth and tenderness with the gut-wrenching ache of loss encapsulates the complex feelings that often accompany grieving for someone we admire. Your longing to offer solace and support, to be there for him in his darkest moments, speaks volumes about your empathy and compassion. The finality of his absence and the overwhelming sense of loneliness without him are heartrending. Your poem is a heartfelt expression of love and sorrow, and it honors Chester's memory with genuine emotion.
