No one’s ever gone

I left them alone, 
Boarded the plane,
My heart was no longer made of stone,
I awaited the pain,
Feeling the weight of my bones.

Everything seemed smaller, 
Not like I thought it was,
One thing I did recognize,
came thundering down.
Drip Drip Drip. 

I thought to myself, 
I’d shoot them a text,
Tell them everything was ok
.. I guess 

The months flew by
The grass grew 
Flowers died
And dreams came true 
I seen them again 
Because they were the only family I knew
