D.J.

You think your life is going fine
and then the news strikes.

He's gone.
The tragic circumstances
surround you
and you ask --
Why?
Why did he do it?

Could it have been diverted?
Could I have mattered?
You ask and yet you know,
no matter how many times you ask
or how long you cry,
it won't matter.
It won't make a difference
because he is gone.

A senseless timeless death
forever remembered in silence
and hushed whispers.

And all you can do
is ask...why?
and pray,
pray he is happy now
and that one day,
one day you'll meet agian.

Rest in Peace

So many rumors,
so many lies,
is this how they hide
their grief and sighs.

Why can't they let you Rest in Peace.
You deserve that much --
no matter how you died.

So much sadness and confusion
surrounds this time
for no one but you know the truth
and your mind is forever silent.

No more words.
No more truths.
Just silence from you.
Why can't we have silence from them?
Why can't they let you --
Rest In Peace.

I Saw You The Other Day

I saw you the other day
yet you did not look the same,
for your breathe was gone
and your hands were cold.

It seemed so unnatural for you,
you who used to be so full of life
now turned so silent.

I can't think,
I just wanted to reach out and touch you
or see you wake up and yell
BOO!
Why couldn't this be a dream
and I suddenly wake up
and I call you --
out of the blue it would seem --
yet I call you
and tell you my dream
and would laugh
and day I'm so strange.

Why can't this be a dream?
Why did I have to see you yesterday,
so calm,
so quiet,
so still.
I want to wake up.
