Diary

Came home from school and my parents they were gone They'd rushed to the place he was supposed to be for his Last few months

And my heart broke as I saw my mothers tears

She hadn't cried like this in all of my Years

Feel it all

Facts of life can make you shrink so very small And I wish I never saw

The empty bed as they rolled it away

We're having lunch when my dad got the call

They said the neighbours found her collapsed on the floor So the rest of the night was a dirty crazy blur

How could something so sudden just

Happen to her

Feel it all

These things happen

But you wish you could have prepared some more

So I wish I was my friends

Who had to comfort me but then had restful nights in bed

Are you out there can you reason with me

As the wind blows time moves just a little more easily but I still burn the pages in my diary

Coz the truth I write is just too hard to see

The other day we saw a magpie

It talked like him and had that twinkle in its eyes

And that butterfly I knew that it was you

Coz it fluttered in my face until I tied up my shoes

Could you give my parents time?

Coz I don't wanna see them cry anymore

And I know we will be alright

We're so grateful for when they were alive
