Gone

to soon

By MeshiaPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Growing up in the midst of Chaos

You held your ground

Pave a path for yourself

You didn't get into the streets

The drugs

Your only downfall was women

Isn't that such

They play these games

Tell you lies set you up

Damn you had such a surprise

Your life was cut short

Just out of high school

I don't really know you buddy

But you're still family

As I sit here and listen to my mother's cries

Your death has hit her so hard that she vomits

One year apart you lost your uncle

When you're up there say hi

Along with him and those we lost before

Keep your hands over this family

We may be miles apart

But our ties lie within our blood

And that's Unbreakable

No matter how dysfunctional we are

It's sad that once again death has brought us together

You won't be the last

But I ask of you and every other Fallen Angel

When they come give them a warm welcome

Spread your arms out wide

And cover them in the light that is heaven

Times are hard

people are dying senselessly

Just know you're in a safe place now

With no burdens on your shoulder

The only thing you can do

Is keep your hands over your sisters and brothers

Praying that the streets don't take them

As they took their brother

Rest in Peace Angel

you will never be forgotten
