Let's Not Talk About That
Is that what you wanted?
When I dialed that number
You took the death white phone
From my hand
Tears drying instantly
Your perky tone rang out into
The saddened air
A dog and a couple
Had just gone
Left the dog
For she had just passed
You cried out
Collapsing onto the floor
Sobs racking your body
Sisters and my hands upon
Your shoulders
I hugged you so tight
Your arms gripping my body
Like I was the only thing left
You had to hold on to
I held on though it hurt
I held on because you were hurt
I held on because you needed me
I held on because I needed to promise you
That I would always be there for you
And I will be
Your father blaming himself
Your father holding back tears
For company was here
But I wanted him to cry
Because knowing that he cared so much
Seemed like not enough right then
Your hand in mine
Holding with a grasp that
Never left my hand.
