For Jasmine (forever 34)

I wept for you today
My tears streaming
The pain my heart was feeling
A life cut short
A mother’s child flew away

I wept for me today
A pain I’m trying to explain
What could have been
My heart needs healing
You’re at peace, I’m full of unrest

I wept for you
I wept for me
I imagined if it was me
Was it time well spent?
There you lay, full of mystery
What’s on the other side of this misery?

I found the best place to cry
No one asks what’s wrong
I don’t need a reason
Here to say goodbye
I guess it’s a season

I wept for us today
His plan I can’t understand
You don’t dream to die
Yet we’re dying to live
All the plans we make
Are fruitless in the grave

We scream God why?!
I can’t tell you’re story
However, it’s all the same
Our dreams dashed by a broken system
The world is doomed but won’t listen

I wept for you today
Your descent from this life
We want a sign, but it was there
Love me now, see me now,
On the other side you can’t hear me

I wept for me
Am I selfish, probably so
Take me, I want to go
Im eternally tired, a martyr for love
Fly butterfly 🦋 Fly
Better skies above
