the other side

By skully

You’re there and then your not
Sad what touched, a knot
Inside, someone’s bride
There was no-where left to hide

You held me in your mind
When I almost died, smoked together
Outside when it all got too much
I’ll miss your friendly touch

Why in this day have families fallen apart
When it’s where we began
Where we made our start
You’re in all my memories of yesterdays

Those you leave behind
There was only one you now your gone
Coffin already lined, hole already dug
Your blood is running cold

You weren’t even that old
I’m sure you were trying to reach out
But there’s no place in this lonely society
To scream out, to shout

One less place at dinner
And sadly, unfortunately
But necessarily we will
All move on without you, though heavier
One more weight to bear
I wish I’d been able to hear

Goodbye my gentle one
My Aunt and still my friend
A lovely lady
Who perhaps cared too much.
I hope you find the other side X
