"Torn Away Too Soon"
I stood downstairs.
My post was simple:
wave bye to all
who leave before me.
When my name came,
I rushed upstairs
to cry and say bye,
but her eyes were fierce.
"You need to lead;
be a role model.
You have summer.
You have to go, now."
But that's not true.
We never traded
Numbers. Handles.
He's not coming back.
New school. New friends.
I'll be here, waiting,
watching, hoping.
Maybe one day we
Could be friends. "Not."
