When you went home
On that day
A day, I will NEVER forget
A piece of me left with you
A piece that I don’t regret
To say I never knew you…..
Well….. that would be a lie
To say I’ll never see you
Well…. that just makes me cry
That day… that long, long, day
My heart aches
Pain
Hurt
Selfishness
Forgiveness
Longing
Memories
I just don’t know…..
Why, this had to be?
I just don’t know…..
Why it couldn’t be me?
You’re gone…..
And……..
I’m still here
My sister I’ll never forget
You were going to be ok they said
You reached to the sky
A tear rolled down
My eyes filled with hope
My heart swelled
Then there you lay….
Gone…….
But still here
Your body, finally at peace
Your soul soaring to the heavens
Your body, cold and stiff
Empty
Full of courage
Full of hope
Full of promise
But… gone….
Gone forever…..
Gone from me….
Hope
Wisdom
Faith
I know you’re here
I can feel you
I can love you
But…. it still hurts!
