Cassandra's Good-byes

by Cassandra Christilaw   Oct 15, 2004


The first time that I saw her
She was so tiny her dark light blue eyes light the room
The first baby in my life that I've held
I remember that day just like yesterday
When she learn how to walk
Shell follow me everywhere and I found that annoying
But I loved her like she was my own child
I watch her grow into a loving teenager
Her friend I remember was her real sister at the heart
Where everything went after that I do not know
The only thing I do know is I'm burying her into this old ground and every memory is passing by me

Fifteen years ago I met an angel
That is my grandchild
My first grandchild
I promised to love her and treat her with so much love
I've kept that promise
Watching her grow up to be made in history by everyone
I knew about the fights she had and the anger she held
But little did I know that anger will kill us both
Today not only do I bury her, but I bury my weaving soul and heart

Today I stand here with dazed grief
Sorrow and emptiness is what I feel
Never will this emptiness be re healed
I've lost a best friend
No a sister for a matter of fact
Even through I knew her for four years
I felt like I knew her all my life
Today I stand here for her love and to pass it on
As these tears run down my pale skin
The memories we had together will never be shattered
She's my world and still is
I'll always love her dearly, but I'll miss her even more
I know she wants me to move on
I'll love for you babe and be a angel for me

The tragedy I saw
It's a stain in my eyes
My own flesh and blood
Sleeping dreamily on the cold numb floor
Her body cold as ice with a bottle next to it
A horrible nightmare for a mother to see
Where did it go wrong?
I love her and I know she doesn't want me to cry, but how can I not?
When she isn't by my side
