The Words I Never Said

I saw it on the news as I was sitting in school I couldn't believe what I saw how could people be so cruel I wasn't really thinking until I saw  the plane It was then I tensed up and my tears fell like rain No could understand what could be so bad Yeah some buildings got ruined but why was I so sad? No one would understand that day when I silently walked away When I sat alone at lunch and there I began to pray I prayed that my sister was safe she was supposed to be on a plane She was coming home from Boston maybe she had taken a train Yet as I walked through the doors when I arrived home I saw the answering machine blinking and my mind began to roam I hit the button quickly not sure what I was going to hear I heard her shaken voice I could her the tension and fear She said that she loved all of us but she was afraid she had to go She said she would take care of us in heaven but her time was running low She said she had one last thing to say before she had to die She told me she was sorry about all the times she had lied She told me tht she loved me and I'd be the olny child now She really hated to go but her time had to be now I heard the phone hang up and I couldn't belive what I had heard My sister was now dead she would never speak another word So here I am still hurt for words I never got to say I never got to tell her I loved her or even ask her to stay I have no choice now but to live with regret For I had fought with my sister the day before she left Written September 16th, 2001 © on Sep 16 2001 03:04 AM PST   0 • 1
