Where Are You Now...4.14.15
Been going through pictures, been staring at walls
Been racking my brain, been pacing the halls
Remembering things that you'd do and say
While forgetting intentionally, you've gone away
Eight months to the day Scottie, still asking why
Thinking too much and all I do is cry
Three months to the day for your brother too
Why, God why, is Marcus home with you too
Your faces keep smiling down from the wall
Makes me just want to curl up in a ball
Turn on the tv flipping through channels
Feeling completely torn and forever dismantled
Guns and grief everywhere, cartoon to documentary
Really makes you think it's pretty elementary
Far from it is that, it's anything but
If it don't ever end, I'll never leave this rut
No matter where I look, no matter where I turn
It's really peace I seek, peace that I yearn
Your troubles now gone, your aches and pains too
That should put me at ease, but I still only want you
Both back home is where you should be
Both with all who love you, yes including me
For now I'll keep looking and wondering how
My boys, my angels, where are you now
