Jessie
When I was 9 my little sister died
I think of her every day of my life
And to this day I say
Jessie I love you, why did you leave me
I know you didn’t choose bul I miss you like crazy
You were an angel sent from god
But man he snatched you back up in the fog
I was dazed, hazed
You were gone so fast I couldn’t help
I wonder what you would look like, be like, sing like
These things chase through my mind
Why you, why then, why didn’t we have more time
For god’s sake you were almost 9
That was it, I didn’t even get to say goodbye
I stare at your picture and cry
One day my daughter will come when I say Jessie
