Draw The Line

One amiss moment walking through these halls
One lingering kiss so cold after all
One tear he drops, why did his world fall
One anguished goodbye, I don’t know why?
Why are they all leaving? Why must I stay??
Chris please come back, Mom don’t walk away!!
Why can’t I remember why I’m here today?
Why are you leaving? Why is daddy grieving?   
Don’t let them do this, Chris please don’t leave me here
Why am I so cold now? Packed with all this fear?
I want to go with you, your hugs in memories so near
But I can’t hold on to remember. What happened this December??
I remember being cold, my body in blood on the ground…
I know I heard a voice… Chris… you were the only sound…
In my car, on the radio… thin ice, I94 south bound
I remember seeing him; I saw some lights…so dim
And then he came right at us; I swerved to have an out
I didn’t hear the glass break, but it did no doubt
I just remember “turn” I thought I heard you sought
“He will be ok but she’s already gone half way”
I remember you above me, telling me to hold in there
The shake in your voice was something I can’t compare
Then I was here and the confusion is so unfair!!
I want to go home, I beg! I’m down on my knees!!!
I want to relax with Chris; we’ll lie in my bed
And talk about the future close overhead
I can’t be gone now! I CAN”T BE DEAD!!
