Smiles past
Love lasts
Hugs felt
Kisses dealt
Golden skin
Genius within
Blonde curls
Life hurls
Blue eyes
Many lies
Shoulder broad
Behind rod
White shirt
Hidden hurt
White pants
Another chance
Birth day
One say
Deadly drug
Then thug
Gray hair
Field bare
Quiet chest
Laid rest
We loved and fought,
You carried me through,
I knew not what I was to you.
You went your way,
I made mine,
I did not know there was so little time
A baby,
Some bars,
You had none, yet kept mine from harms.
New beginning, new promise,
A life yet to live,
You had so many chances, but choose not to give.
Broken promises,
Lost hope,
Thinking of nothing but dope.
Hurt mom, hurt sis,
Why they ask,
They don’t warrant a glance.
Dead body,
Dead field,
No answers revealed.
We loved and fought,
You carried me through,
I still do not know what I was to you.
