...

I tried to call you today after hearing the news.

But i hadn’t the strength to lift the phone

Nor the breath in which to speak.

As much as I desired to,

I could not be the strength you needed from me.

As much as I needed to run to your side,

I could barely stand on my own two feet.

How does one breath with no air in their lungs

How could I tell you how badly it hurts.

When I know you are suffering just as deeply as I.

Today we lost someone together,

Even though we are apart.

Today we all suffer from a broken heart.

I tried to call you today after hearing the news

But a part of my heart passed away as well

And even though I didn’t call, or run to be by your side,

I know you are never going to be alone…

Now that our angel has gone home.
