For Kuntree
I can't collect my thoughts.
Still can't believe it's real.
My stomach tied in knots.
I don't know what to feel.
I'm still waiting for a reply.
From the text I sent you months ago.
Wish I could've said goodbye.
It didn't get to you in time I know.
Our memories stay close to my heart.
As you helped to make it bigger.
So sorry that we grew apart.
Why did you have to pull the trigger.
I wish I could've been there,
The way that you were there for me.
Why this way, it's not fair.
I'm sorry you felt so empty.
Nobody will understand,
How one can feel so hollow.
To take your life the way you planned,
Is a pill I cannot swallow.
There will always be a special spot,
In my broken heart for you.
It's painful, I miss you a lot.
I hope the angels take good care of you.
