Aunt Beverly
She sat at the edge of the bed and she said it’s some news I must share
So she grabbed the remote control pressed mute so I could hear
She had a sad look on her face so I said mama what’s wrong?
She looked me right in the eyes, took a deep breath (hah)
For u baby, I’m trying to be strong
Confused, scared, anxious to find out what I didn’t know
She grabbed me close and said your Aunt Beverly’s gone
So many memories began to flood my head, tears flooded my eyes
Hurt, deceived by God, in denial
I knew that it was true but unable to accept reality
Anything but this! I scream
Why does this always happen to me?
Beautiful woman, phenomenal woman
Soul now turned cold
Man u should’ve saw her when she saw me
Girl you just so gorgeous you need to be modeling in those magazines
Aw and look at that baby’s hair
All those repeated things she said all flooded my head
I tried to see her for the past three months
January was the last time I’d seen her
I missed her; this is the longest she’s been away
But I remember words that she said “I may not make it” now she’s dead
I miss you Aunt Beverly, I love you but I hate you too
U were so selfish to do what you did to steal my heart and leave me here
So smart and established, strong-willed and accomplished
Kind soul, open hearted, giving what she earned
At that moment I felt that God had stolen my smile but it was me being selfish because I
miss you so
You left too soon out of my life so it’ll take a while to let you go
