My Manda always said closed caskets were the worst
But I don't know
I guess we'll find out today if the open ones win
You see, yesterday it was her time to go
I'll never forget the sound of her mom's voice
When she called and told me something went wrong
My Manda always said her heart hurt
I always thought she'd be here for so long
It went real fast
And then real slow
This time it just stopped
The paramedics couldn't make it go
I don't know if I'll be able to handle today
Maybe I shouldn't go
My mom says I have to
Maybe I'll miss it if I go too slow
My mom says I have to say goodbye
But I can't to her
She'll be with me forever
Just like we always were
I always told her I'd die if she did
I guess its time to see
Just how strong I am
Maybe together we can be
As I arrive and walk in
Everyone stares at me
I start to cry
Beg and plead
Please don't take her
She didn't deserve it
I want her to say with me
For just a little bit
What am I going to do
Who am I going to call
I need her in my life
Who's going to catch me as I fall
Karen help me
Make them understand
She needs to be in my wedding
Just like we always planned
You guys have her hair wrong
It's never strait
Why couldn't it be me instead
Please stop saying it was fate
I just want her
Stop hugging me
Who am I going to tell my secrets to
Please why cant you guys just see
She can't be really gone
She just needs to breathe
I see her right there
It's not the time for her to leave
I have so much to tell her
There's so much left unsaid
I wish i would have told i loved her
She can't be really dead
Hey there,
This poem is absolutely beautiful. My mum died earlier this year so I have a semi-idea of how you are feeling even though it's different because you obviously lost a very good friend. Just wanted to let you know how good this poem is :)
