Room

Who knew a room could become so sacred 
Just looking at the floor made me feel emotionally naked 
At 8 in the morning I got that call
"Hey your sister died go tell your ma"
Just the night before as I lay on the ground
My mind half asleep
Her voice creeped down 
I don't wanna go please let me stay
But gods decision let us know he chose the other way
Childhood room filled with her memories, her bed beside mine
Always together they be
Torn down by the agony 
Mom couldn't stand it 
Made me take it down, she chose not to have it
I had no say 
Her thoughts her writing 
18 years crammed into a shoe box
The notes that'd said "I love you little seester okay?
2 years gone by
I still remember your casket 
Family on each side 
Dropping the flowers as we cried
Mom has her days 
Dad tries to hide it
Oscar shyes away
Ale never knows what to say
I wish I would of known 
That night would be our last 
But now I sit here reminiscing our past
Sitting in your room
Looking at your hat 
When no words would come out
I feel your ghost pass
Flip the switch see your shimmering lights
So bright and special they'd light up the night
You left those there
To remind us all
Of the soul you have
And the love you saw 
When things would go wrong 
And I didn't know where to turn 
I'd run down those stairs 
Looking for you
I'm emotionally broken
Can't you see it's you I yearn?
A room so empty 
Filled with her memories
When I found no comfort 
I'd go down and see
You left what you had
Left it all for me
Because even though you didn't know
You knew it was what I'd need
