the young man sat siletly facing the coffin
it was the second time this year he'd been faced with these emotions
how was he guna cope without either of his parents?
it was almost 7 months after his fathers death
when he saw his ma layin wit medicine bottles wit no contents left
he checked her pulse n shed a few tears
started runnin round the house lookin for his keys
dropped to his knees, and picked her up
then carried her out to his F150 truck
raced to the hospital dodging all kindsa traffic
think 'damn why dint i stop all this shit from happenin
i was too busy partying n shootin up
my mom was dyin while i was havin my dick sucked
i shuda saw it comin but i dint and i regret
damn are we nearly at the fuckin hospital yet?'
he called ahead to let them kno hed be ther in a few
'come on mom!' he was yelling, 'you have to pull thru!'
he slammed on his brakes and picked her up
runnin in there hopin n wishin that she wouldnt give up
the doctors came out, and dropped their heads
im sorry son, she dint make it - shes dead.
