Waiting on Me

We sat on the curb
The day before you decided to leave
I wish I had known
But you were 20 and I was just 13
You told me I O.D.ed
My mind is not the same
It's never going to get better
I can't think and I can barely talk
You cried and we held a tight embrace

Handsome and tall I thought you were it
You were sweet and kind to me like I was your Sis
You shot yourself in the head in the field across the street
Your father was a preacher and felt you lost the race that day
But I'll look for you in heaven
Cause I know that is where you will be

We sat on the curb
Before you decided to leave
In heaven that's where you will be
Waiting on me.....

Powerfully moving TERRY!!...... it's these kinds of experiences that help to shape a personality.... especially when you experience it at such a young age...... regardless, you have conveyed the power and the pain of it quite succinctly.... as though it were something still difficult to speak about!!.....ALL STARS!!....... Even though it doesn't follow a specific rhyme scheme it still seems to rhyme in the mind......... beautifully delivered poetic prose my friend!!...... well penned!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo ?✴❤

Hi Barry, Thank you.  It was really sad.
 I haven't been able to find the time to be on Cosmo.  Just to busy right now so it was nice to get your email.  I'll be back though. Take care... Terry Kay
