For Chelle

For Chelle

Through all the ugliness,
The bitterness & lies,
The drugs, the schemes, the sleepless nights,
The paranoid and schizophrenic eyes

I saw the surface only
I forgot to look inside
Where your good souls always was
Where I knew it liked to hide

Even though you were hurting me
I should have looked past
Knowing I could always deal with life
I saw yours fading fast

Your life was filled with so much pain
And yet, still, you brought much joy
To those you were the closest to
Especially that little boy

I should have never left your side
I should have taken you with me
But now that you are gone
I hope your soul is finally free

The times when you were full of life
Are now, again, so clear
You gave us all your love and good
Just to keep us near

You were the most wonderful Auntie
They loved you so much
Something about that Auntie Chelle
You had that special touch

I’ve carried this bitterness and hate
For too long now
I’m remembering the good times
So you won’t see me frown

I miss you so much right now
Never thought I could
I wish for once I could change time
For this, I surely would

Not very many others
Saw the person that I knew
They wouldn’t look past the surface
And see the good in you

I sense you’re trying to reach me
From where you are now
So I can see…

There must be a lesson
For us to learn
Love is what you give…
Not what you earn

I am so very sorry
For trading my soul
And bringing you with me
That wasn’t the goal

We needed each other
To be better than we were
I should have stayed stronger
Looked past the detour

Instead we decided
That we could handle this road
As long as we stuck together
To carry the load

For awhile it was fun
We sensed no danger
Until we accepted more
And decided to wager

We allowed our demons
To come out and play
And put our angels
Away for the day

But that day now,
Forever will last
Even though,
Its part of the past

The past is now what I have
Memories and feelings
Of such amazing times
When we were human beings

What I think about now
Is the wonderful you
The you I will carry always
The you that was true

Written for my Sister-in-law whose life on this earth was short…
She was killed February 2004 by, for, and because of drugs.
Rest in Peace… I Love You
