A true story of grief
I Should Have Stayed
You said "Come here"
I shut the door
I couldn't take it anymore
You texted me and called me names
I just ignored you all the same
You were drunk, you'd sleep it off
I didn't know you'd take a drive
To think if I had just "Stayed there"
You probably would be alive
I saw a car crashed into a wall
I never will forget that sight
I didn't know that it was you
I prayed for as I passed that night
I had an awful feeling just then
I called and called you to answer me
You didn't answer you were gone
I wish I could have made you see
I loved you so much and others did too
You left me here with all this grief
I should have stayed, and you'd be here
I didn't know what I should do.
So, I sit here with all my grief
And memories made of me and you
Grief ebbs and flows throughout the years
As I write this poem the words are blurred
I can not see through all my tears
I hope you know I wished I "Stayed"
I'm sorry that I had to go
I loved you then
And I do still
And memories we'll never know.
