They called me the day she died
I don’t know why They’d made it clear
years before I wasn’t family
anymore
They’d attacked me
The last time we met
Grabbed my arms
Twisted hard Made me drop my phone
Stepped on it
So I couldn’t call for help
They called me the day she died
I don’t know why. I didn’t want to talk I already knew she had gone I texted, “Send me the details.
Sorry for your loss.”
I couldn’t go to the funeral
They’d be there They would cause a scene
I couldn’t do that to her
Couldn’t make her death
About me
They called me the day she died
I don’t know why.
I stared at my phone
until the buzzing stopped
She had been my Island cove in a stormy sea
Her house, my sanctuary
She was the last family
Who actually loved me
They called me the day she died
