my sister called me.
her voice was ragged
and her words were jumbled.
i got there as fast as i could,
tears threatening to drown me
and my heart ready to explode.
i had watched you leave,
i had watched so many people leave,
and i couldn't bear the thought of
having to watch her go too.
but when i got there,
she was already gone.
and right then,
i was sure
that my world would end.
that all the pain would strangle me.
and as i cried into my hands,
my heart barely beating,
i wondered why you had to be gone
at the very moment when
when i was sure to leave too.
