Living For Both of Us

I run toward Lois in my dreams saving her Protecting her, insulating her from the big bad guy But alas, she disappears moments before I arrive She was a good friend, we had so many laughs. She had the best laugh in the neighborhood I still hear her laugh in my dreams. She died at the hands of a madman when she was fourteen. Her body left under a bridge for younger children to find For a town to find, so they could grieve and pity her mother I look beyond her death to her life Remembering her tittering smile and her love for animals Trying to live my life the best I can, as I am now living for both of us.
