9/11

In dedication to all the innocent lives lost and all those who did and still do risk their lives for us. R.I.P.

 Before IT happened

All was right

From the brightness of day

To the darkness of night

From winter to spring

From summer to fall

We spent family time

Together through it all

But now through the seasons

When I visit their grave

I remember the good times

From the memories I've saved.

We spent all our time

Happy and well

But that was before

The twin towers fell

You don't know the pain

Of every day

That makes me cry

That makes me say

Why don't you try

To walk in my shoes?

To live my life

Through and through

On September eleventh

Two thousand and one

My parents left for work

Just like everyone

Dad was a computer tech

Mom was a clerk

But neither knew of the planes

About to hit their work

When the first plane crashed

The one that killed dad

I then thought mom

Was all that i had

But the next plane crashed

That one killed mom

And I sat there crying

For both parents were gone

You don't know the pain

Of every day

That makes me cry

That makes me say

Why don't you try

To walk in my shoes?

To live my life

Through and trough

When at their funeral

All teary-eyed and sad

I realized my parents

Were all that I had had

My life is now nothing

Incomplete, a lie

The solution to my problem

Is if I die

I sat thinking for hours

And came up with a plan

If i kill myslef

Be with them I can

So this is all

This is me

The last you'll ever know of

But you'll never see

And you'll never know the pain

I went though every day

That made me cry

That made me say

Why don't you try

To walk in my shoes

To live my life

Through and through

I'm sorry for your loss. I believe you will meet your parents again someday.

So immensely sad. Beautifully flowing and heartfelt.
