The voices

The voices

They are speaking to me

Telling me sweet things

That I'll tell you

The crying

You've brought back

Memories from the dead

Memories from the last day

Of third grade

Leaving for Chicago

To see him

The next day

He leaves

Walks into a new world

A world of happiness

A world where nobody is mean

There is no drama there

In the world of white and black

Of pink and blue

Of beauty

Of good

But it's a long vacation

Because he's not coming back

But you remind me

Of how sad I was

Screaming

Crying

Sobbing

Breathing

Kicking

Yelling

Never wanting to go back

You've turned me back

You've brought back memories

That no one shall ever know
