I knew

I knew when i heard her scream.
Holding my dad so tight.
Seeing her tears run down her face.
Her hands shaking like crazy.

I knew when my dad came upstairs.
Sadness upon his face.
Something was horrible wrong.
But i never pictured this.

I knew when I saw your picture.
In the daily newspaper the next day.
I cried when I saw your age.
I could do nothing but walk away.

I knew it would happen someday.
But never this soon.
It still doesn't register in my mind.
That you have left this earth.
