To the Girl That Disappeared

wouldn't have cared 
if it wasn't for the way you disappeared 
or when you disappeared 
or even who you were to me 

you were my sister you disappeared due to getting in 
a car accident at 2 o'clock in the morning 
boy what a way to wake up the day 
before your birthday 

December 31st of 2015 is one day 
i will never forget 
waking up to my mom screaming like she was getting raped 
to walking into the kitchen to three police officers 
my mom screaming bloody murder 
in my dads arms and my grandmother 
standing there telling what happened 

me wanting to just be by myself 
but having a caring grandmother 
and father they didn't let me 
be alone that day or that night 

the thoughts and endless nightmares 
i had and continue to have or 
the tearful nights i cry myself to sleep 
because i am thinking of a way i could have saved you 
or my last words to you 
just kill me just the thought that your just gone 

or the night i had so much anger and sadness 
built up it drove me to take a thumb tack off my wall 
and dig it into my skin just because the thought of you being gone kills me 
but luckily i asked for help.
