The call came in at five a.m.
Weren't we supposed to
Meet for lunch today?
I guess we never will now
Forever
I had to tell mom the news
Not sure I can ever forgive
You for that walk to her door
Then again, I guess I have no choice
Forever
Your children were with me
For the first 48 hours
The first time in a year I'd seen them
Now they can visit anytime
Forever
All that's left is a box of ashes
Cracked photographs of the two of us
More of the whole family with you missing
There will be more
Forever
With all of your pain and not taking my hand
When you needed it most
It may be selfish, I know
But I won't see your signature smile again
Forever
Feeling my sister today. She had a huge heart but a lot of internal struggles. Depression is an illness that can't be cured with a little blue pill. It's been a year since she passed away at 46 years old. We were to get together that day for lunch and a movie marathon for the first time in ages. With holidays coming up, she is with me. Just felt the need to share a little therapeutic writing.
