Missing An Angel
What happens now.
that you are gone.
And everything continues on.
But we are standing in the middle of the dusty road.
Begging you not to go.
It's as if we all are fighting time.
We're jumping out of line
and screaming,
we are not ready to continue on.
Stop playing that damn song.
There are more tears to be spent.
more sobs to be wept.
and all the time we're still saying
we're not ready yet.
Even when we're smiling
we remember you dying.
it is the moment that we wake with
and the moment that we take with
us and break in us
and remind ourselves of all that was lost
such a fucking cost
just so one more of us will always live
the way you meant us too
to see things through
to change the lives of those who do not have
to make light for those forgot
and now I see the hope in you
brought to us through all your loss
and I find myself returning to
what do we do?
now that you are gone?
that you are gone.
And everything continues on.
But we are standing in the middle of the dusty road.
Begging you not to go.
It's as if we all are fighting time.
We're jumping out of line
and screaming,
we are not ready to continue on.
Stop playing that damn song.
There are more tears to be spent.
more sobs to be wept.
and all the time we're still saying
we're not ready yet.
Even when we're smiling
we remember you dying.
it is the moment that we wake with
and the moment that we take with
us and break in us
and remind ourselves of all that was lost
such a fucking cost
just so one more of us will always live
the way you meant us too

to change the lives of those who do not have

what do we do?
now that you are gone?
