I was beginning to learn
That I had made this journey
For the second time in my life

Death
Sickness
And a broken
Life

I had
Nothing, sadness
Being all that I felt

Thoughts
Running through my head
Why her?

She was gone
At age 22
Far too young
And I barely got to see her
But somehow
I was lucky because
I saw her the day before she died

As a sudden breeze passes me
And stops my thoughts
I realize that
I’ve stayed out too late

I turn to go home
My house, plainly visible
But I turn around
Daylight
In my mind as I
Continue my journey
The street lights around me
Making my head dizzy
Along with my thoughts

I thought time would pass
And I would move on
But there wasn’t left
Of not only my tears
But my family’s as well
