I never thought in a
MILLION
Years I’d have to live that day

Of discomfort, unbelief
A day that could
NEVER
Be rested away

He said, “5 minutes and I’ll be there”
An hour went by and instead of anger
I sensed danger
A feeling I could not bear

I got a call saying an accident happened
But no one knew who was hurt
Could’ve been Devin, TJ, Shawn, Omar, or maybe even Bert.
But nobody knew who was in the hospital bed
Bruised all black and blue
We all prayed and hoped it was nobody
But sadly it was you

Rushing to the hospital million things were on my
MIND
Praying, hoping, fighting, wishing things could just
REWIND

Lev was abrasive when he found out the news
We all had faith that this news wasn’t true

It all happened so damn fast
Disenchantment in the air
We soon had to believe
Our friend was no longer there

In silence we stood
Oblivious to the world
Tenacious feelings that were
MISUNDERSTOOD

What’s most frightening?
It was an ephemeral
In the blink of an
EYE
No one understood
WHY
It had to be you

All of us repudiated
Our hearts replete with pain
Starting to wonder if we were reprehensible to live
There was nothing to gain

Reliving that day
Something I
PRAY
Will never happen again

You’re gone
In my dreams you’ll forever stay
But you’re never forgotten
Your presence will never go away

We carry you in our hearts
And to this day
All we have to say is
We love you

Almost every night
I pass that sight
Praying, hoping, fighting, wishing
Things could just feel right

It will never be the same
The lunch room, the classroom, the dances
Were you went insane

Days were tedium
But now I see
No matter how bad the day
You’re looking down at me

It had to be you
The one they took away
But it’s okay
You’re the angel
That will forever stay
