You
I never thought in a
MILLION
Years I’d have to live that day
Of discomfort, unbelief
A day that could
NEVER
Be rested away
He said, “5 minutes and I’ll be there”
An hour went by and instead of anger
I sensed danger
A feeling I could not bear
I got a call saying an accident happened
But no one knew who was hurt
Could’ve been Devin, TJ, Shawn, Omar, or maybe even Bert.
But nobody knew who was in the hospital bed
Bruised all black and blue
We all prayed and hoped it was nobody
But sadly it was you
Rushing to the hospital million things were on my
MIND
Praying, hoping, fighting, wishing things could just
REWIND
Lev was abrasive when he found out the news
We all had faith that this news wasn’t true
It all happened so damn fast
Disenchantment in the air
We soon had to believe
Our friend was no longer there
In silence we stood
Oblivious to the world
Tenacious feelings that were
MISUNDERSTOOD
What’s most frightening?
It was an ephemeral
In the blink of an
EYE
No one understood
WHY
It had to be you
All of us repudiated
Our hearts replete with pain
Starting to wonder if we were reprehensible to live
There was nothing to gain
Reliving that day
Something I
PRAY
Will never happen again
You’re gone
In my dreams you’ll forever stay
But you’re never forgotten
Your presence will never go away
We carry you in our hearts
And to this day
All we have to say is
We love you
Almost every night
I pass that sight
Praying, hoping, fighting, wishing
Things could just feel right
It will never be the same
The lunch room, the classroom, the dances
Were you went insane
Days were tedium
But now I see
No matter how bad the day
You’re looking down at me
It had to be you
The one they took away
But it’s okay
You’re the angel
That will forever stay
