You say it's all fine, That you're okay, And I don't know what to say What to do Because I know you're lying, In shock, In denial. I know it's not "all fine" When you lose a life You've carried for it-doesn't-matter-how-long. Curse me for a fool, For not being there for you, Sister. I should be there with you, But instead I'm far south Whilst you are north. It's only now That I truly hate this life fighting choice, This life freedom fighting, right defending choice That makes me absent from you... ------------------------------------inspired by the call I got yesterday evening from my best friend telling me she lost her baby, and the fact that she's in Minnesota while I am in Florida learning the skills I will need to know for the next four years of my career.
You say it's all fine,
ReplyDeleteThat you're okay,
And I don't know what to say
What to do
Because I know you're lying,
In shock,
In denial.
I know it's not "all fine"
When you lose a life
You've carried for it-doesn't-matter-how-long.
Curse me for a fool,
For not being there for you,
Sister.
I should be there with you,
But instead I'm far south
Whilst you are north.
It's only now
That I truly hate this life fighting choice,
This life freedom fighting, right defending choice
That makes me absent from you...
