Cassie

we were sisters that shared no blood
we were lovers that shared no touch

i felt the world change the moment you passed over
almost felt like everything went cold and black

i could not get home fast enough
to watch the news and figure out what went wrong

mom in the way at the door asking where i had been
i asked her to please step aside and let me in

i sat on the floor and looked at the screen
the volume loud enough to wake the dead

although i could not hear
i saw your shoe laying sideways

you were so happy that you finally got that pair
i couldnt understand what was going on

but i also knew all to well without really even knowing

you saved my life that night you gave your own
it only took me a few to figure out your intentions

i pass that bridge and shudder
sometimes i want to go there and feel the ground
and hope that i can still feel you there

many questions i have for you

did you feel my kiss upon your cheek before we had to say goodbye
did you hear my words as choked as they were when I had to say goodbye
did you smell the flowers I laid inside with you before they closed the lid
did you see my heart as it jumped as the dirt hit the floor i didnt want to say goodbye

your face flashes before me everytime i say my childs name
he was named for you

please watch over us
