We Just Can't Have It All....

by Jesslyn   Jul 24, 2005


Solemn faces
Fill the blank spaces
In my mind.
I try to be kind.

some I know,
There are others I don't know too.
As they say hello,
I answer back,"I'm sorry, do I know you?"

I walk to the front,
And I'm consumed with want.
I want to see them together again.
I don't even know where to begin.

I turn away with my head down,
Trying to hide my miserable frown.
I just let the tears fall.
we can't have it all.

When we get to the cemetery,
We are all so weary.
We go inside
For the one who died.

When everyone goes to the wall,
I sit there and start to bawl.
I was the only one left crying there,
Until John came with tears to share.

He hugged me
and promised not to let me be
Until I was ok.
Tomorrow is a different day.

I go get a flower
And try with all my power
To not cry,
While I say good-bye.

I turned with one last look,
A simple good-bye was all it took.
I let my tears of sorrow fall,
Because we just can't have it all.
