I didn't know her as a person, but in her demise lies my future -somehow. |
It was 5 years ago, almost to the day I'd never met you before that night But I understood your family's plight As I stood staring Thinking, pondering the feeling It could've been me had I been where I should've doing what I would've at the time when you passed away -Flashback! I recall the fearful feeling As you stared blankly at the ceiling Of your mother's worried cries with her grief stricken eyes You see -you were the only one of your peers who hadn't made it home that night It was cold in there could you feel it? underneath that white sheet Or maybe it was just me Thinking, pondering the feeling It could've been me had I been where I should've doing what I would've at the time when you passed away -Flashback! Your babies are big kids now Old enough to miss you now One of them the same age as mine -As I recall Grown enough to see All the pain and misery of A sister left to mourn and A mother torn From her babies way too soon. Wearing your sister's jacket short hair and matching pants I didn't know you before then but in your death we talked as I stood Thinking, pondering the feeling I could've been me had I been where I should've doing what I would've at the time when you passed away. -Flashback! Today -I sit here feeling the pain in remembering your name -Cynthia! You're gone, but I'm still here. Knowing, fighting the feeling that it would've been me had I been where I should've doing what I would've at the time when you passed away -Flashback! |
