Aunt Beverly

She sat at the edge of the bed and she said it’s some news I must share So she grabbed the remote control pressed mute so I could hear She had a sad look on her face so I said mama what’s wrong? She looked me right in the eyes, took a deep breath (hah) For u baby, I’m trying to be strong Confused, scared, anxious to find out what I didn’t know She grabbed me close and said your Aunt Beverly’s gone So many memories began to flood my head, tears flooded my eyes Hurt, deceived by God, in denial I knew that it was true but unable to accept reality Anything but this! I scream Why does this always happen to me? Beautiful woman, phenomenal woman Soul now turned cold Man u should’ve saw her when she saw me Girl you just so gorgeous you need to be modeling in those magazines Aw and look at that baby’s hair All those repeated things she said all flooded my head I tried to see her for the past three months January was the last time I’d seen her I missed her; this is the longest she’s been away But I remember words that she said “I may not make it” now she’s dead I miss you Aunt Beverly, I love you but I hate you too U were so selfish to do what you did to steal my heart and leave me here So smart and established, strong-willed and accomplished Kind soul, open hearted, giving what she earned At that moment I felt that God had stolen my smile but it was me being selfish because I miss you so You left too soon out of my life so it’ll take a while to let you go
