Memories from the past
When I was 6 my dad passed away, gosh I remember it like it was yesterday.
My mom came in with tears in her eyes, all she could say was your dad had died.
The man didn’t go to jail,
Which made my life a living hell.
It was 10 days before Valentine’s Day, how could his best friend take his life this type of way.
To shoot him in the chest in front of his wife and kids, what kind of monster could live with this kind of sin.
To wake up and go on about his life like nothing ever happened, but that’s one thing I haven’t forgotten.
