You’re Gone

You’re dead but what do I tell our son…
The one thing I dread hit me hard today
I cried my eyes out
And didn’t know how to react or what to say
This call
The way he said it
Made me heart stop
Down I went with such a hard fall
I was found a few hours later
Thinking it was all a dream
Sitting in a hospital
Crying and seeing this is all as real as it seems
I can no longer see you
Or hold you with me at night
You overdosed over some dumb drug
And it kills me because you could have been with me holding me tight
I’m sitting here
Not knowing what to do
What do I tell our son?
How do I say you’re gone forever?
"Ohh son dad got into a fight and it just so happened the drugs won"
I can’t look into our son's eyes without seeing your face
It’s so hard for me
But it’s just a memory I can’t replace
