I wasn't strong enough to say goodbye
I was in the room when my aunt had died
I broke down and cried for so many days
though her death broke me in so many ways.
Her taking her final breath haunts me still
since she passed, I haven't been fulfilled
she was always there when I needed a cry
yet I was in the room when my aunt had died.
Seeing her slowly slipping away from life
a loving mother, grandmother & a great wife
my heart just sank when she passed away
though her passing still haunts me everyday.
My best friend & Queen who passed away
tormented that I'm hurting in so many ways
she took her last breath before it was noon
I wish she passed away in the month of June.
