How Fooled We Were
How fooled we were,
To think that day was normal.
It was anything but normal.
We heard someone had a gun.
We got scared for our family and friends.
We couldn't get to them,
The school was locked down.
We heard someone fired that gun.
They said he shot himself.
Someone said it was Skyler.
Other's didn't want to believe,
In my heart I knew.
I was in shock.
I couldn't breath.
I didn't want to believe.
We thought he was happy.
How fooled we were.
They said he was in stable condition.
So, I was able to pick up some of
The pieces of my heart.
We got that dreadful phone call.
He said you died.
I dropped all the pieces to my heart.
I was crushed.
I broke down in tears.
Didn't know how I was
Going to make it.
But I did.
How fooled we were,
To believe you had been happy
All those years.
Dedicated To Skyler Cullitan (R.I.P 12-10-2004).
