Analysis of Fallen Off
I had it all together at one point in time, I was
happy and stable and life was just fine! Then it happened so fast, you became part of the past,
I had no time to grasp, what day was your last.
I can't believe you're not here, and out sheds a
tear, I wish God would make you appear, I wish
I felt you more when you are near, I wish in my
heart I hadn't a fear. You were my ride or die
especially sober. You brought me luck as if you
were a four-leaf clover. I don't want the good
times to be over! It was a horrible way that you decided to go, and little did you know, it wouldn't
just be me to find you though, and Shane
wouldn't allow his emotions to show as he now
lives in his own shadow. I had expectations, you
had life's frustrations so we in turn had some complications. And then you were done and just couldn't wait none. Shane became a man that
day, NO ONE WAS OK... or knew what to say especially seeing as how this wasn't going to go
away. Your suicide was here to stay. Be that as it
may, I still think and talk about you every day! I
still cry more than I'd like to admit, I just can't
seem to get, my head on straight. This is no
debate, I wish I could just take, back every
mistake, and shortly after awake. Awake to
your beautiful face, and have this horrible
memory erased. I love you Robbie more than
anyone I ever have before! And with every
passing day even though your gone I love you
more! If you received your wings I hope they
allow you to soar! And that your happier than
you've ever been before!
