Numbness and Death

Postby Reflections » Tue Sep 20, 2005 12:33 am

I got another thread but something happened today that made me open this one up. I will not edit any of it much its just for venting and for anyone to join as well
-------------------------------------------------

I got a call today it showed as from Mom,
nothing unusual in it at all at the start,
I picked up and then she spoke words,
words which numbed my heart.

I sit here not knowing what to think,
or about what was said and how I feel,
I hear the words killed and murdered,
and none of it seems to be that real.

I went to look for the story I had to,
I still see the girl that lived two doors away,
I do not see the Mom of a six year old,
I guess its the shock that is going to stay.

Moms words took awhile to sink in,
she started with if I remembered you,
and told me the news you were gone,
it sent all sorts of thoughts and feelings too.

I may never understand what people do,
but near or far my family cared about you.
Justice won't be served, he killed himself too.
but why was it he had to also take you.
