Rest in Peace, Beautiful
"Wake up! Please wake up! Mom, please just open your eyes!"
Twelve years old, watching my cousin beg and plead for his mother back
The man in black comes inside the vast room and tells us we need to leave now
He tells us that we can come back in the morning before the funeral
Dean keeps screaming
"No! Please! Don't do this to me! Mom!"
He's banging his hands against the open casket;
I wonder if they are bleeding
The man in black closes the casket
"Please sir not yet, please open it up!"
I feel bad for Dean but the man is just doing his job
"Mom,"
I hear Dean whisper,
but nothing
The car ride home stays silent.
My mother doesn't speak, nor does my father
I want to yell at them for not saying anything to help Dean out but I say nothing at all.
Instead, I remember to be thankful to have them sitting in the car with me right now
Dean has neither his mom or dad left
so I just decide to stay silent and hug my cousin,
and let him sob silently in my arms
