your cross.
ever since you were
 lost
 i have worn your necklace
 your cross
 
 the silver glistens at my throat
 both the 
 cross and the chain
 are cool on my neck
 
 you forgot to wear it
 that fateful day
 i was going to give it to you
 before it was too late
 
 then the plane came
 crashing to the building
 killing not only the people on the plane
 but you too
 
 the cross and chain will never tarnish
 from my salty tears
 they will never be lost
 for i will wear it always
 
 a cross
 similar to the one around my neck
 marks your spot
 in the graveyard
 
 i go there
 to talk
 mainly about
 how much i miss you
 
 we've been through tough things before
 i can get through this right?
 only before
 i had you
 
 now you are gone
 and mama and papa weep
 when they think
 im not listening
 
 i know you are there
 invisible
 but still watching
 over us
 
 thank you.
