Missing U

Yeah, you gone but never 4gotten, I can‘t believe it‘s true
I‘m dedicating this piece here from me to you.
It‘s been quite some time already,
and you‘re still fresh on my mind.
Why he had to take your life and not take mine
I finally see that that saying is true,
―When it‘s your time to go you‘re going‖
But I‘m just not trying to be a statistic having a good
life and going and not knowing
But hey, I have no type of say so who am I to judge?
Because in reality everyone eventually‘s gonna be in the mud
They say the good die young, that‘s the realest quote they say
I sit back wit tears in my eyes given my head a shake
You were my role model, the one that I admired
And known I‘m mad at the world, because your life has expired
But the family is keeping me afloat and on point showing me love
Saying ―She‘s watching over you from the heavens above‖
But I know you‘re in a better place, no more buffering, knowing what the pain was worth
But I just wish I can spend one more day
with you on God‘s green earth
But I‘ma stay strong, because that‘s what real men do
And don‘t worry about your young 1,because she‘s mines and I‘m gonna take care of her too

Ok dats enough being down and out, plus depressed
All dats gonna do is make me more and more stressed
You were they type of person who always
keep a smile on your face
Even when your days been up, down, or sideways
You had a pretty smile, with pearly white perfect teeth
So white that they looked bleached
That‘s just one thing that I‘m gonna miss the most
But I always look at your pictures
and give your obituary a kiss for hope
Knowin I look at life different, everything so brand new
But Big Sis, always remember that I love and will never stop missing u.
R.I.P.

    This moved me to tears. A truly a beautiful piece. The cadence and innocence and raw emotion of it all comes together to show how both grief and hope are affecting you, and makes it all the more powerful. Please keep writing.
