Parting
by Shaneika Henderson
I hate
that you had to leave me
the way it happened.
The way you departed
from this earth shattered
my heart
into a million pieces.
But I’m all right now
because I know
you’re in heaven
now
and you’re very happy now
because you’re not living
in hell anymore.
You’re up high in the
sky
behind the gates
of heaven
now and I’m still living
on earth in hell
but one day my time will come
for me to depart
the life of hell
and begin a new life
in heaven
so wait for me
in front of the gates
of heaven
and don’t forget
all the love I have
for you.
