I wish I
would’ve been there more for you sis
Thanksgiving
dinner, the last supper, I missed
we used to
have many long talks on the phone
I know if
you were here I wouldn’t feel alone
growing up,
you told me we’d always be buddies
when my life
was out of control you still loved me
you were
always there for me, a shoulder to lean on
you never,
ever judged me despite all I did wrong
I’ll never
forgive myself for missing your burial
because I
woke up too drunk after your funeral
it would have
been dangerous for me to drive
three hundred
miles in snow, would I have arrived?
all that
really matters, now, is knowing you’re fine
the smile on
your face I see every single time
you come to
visit me from the other side
I know you
see all of us that were left behind
you’ll be
there to greet us all when it’s time
until then,
my buddy, I’ll wait for your next visit
God willing,
it’s soon, there’s no way I will miss it
