A Letter
Dear Rob:
Time heals all wounds is a white lie
Because I bleed a little everytime I cry
Memories can't replace the human touch
Sometimes it seems it's just too much
Every drop from my eye, I question why
Did he take you? No answer through vanquished sighs
It's so hard to come to terms and understand
What is the reason? What is the plan?
I would have traded places with you in an instant
It's a thought I've had that remains persistant
No matter how hard I try to resist it
Guilting myself is so damn insistent
It's said you're in a better place, but I plead my case
Pure greed indeed, I would rather see your face
I would exchange 10 years of my life, for one day of yours
Anguish engulfs me at times, not always behind closed doors
I've gotten down on all fours screaming to the heavens and the sky
WHY DID YOU TAKE HIM? HE DIDN'T DESERVE TO DIE.
Brother.. it never gets better, so I write you a letter
Putting my pain in words, we will always be tethered
Love always Curtis
