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.
