Lost in an Abyss of Sadness and Tears

 
31 March, 1995…
I remember that afternoon when I heard the news
Glued to the T.V. looking for clues asking ourselves
Why someone would kill a rising star
 
For days and months, even years
We were left wondering with what could’ve been
She was only twenty three years old
So young
So much potential and so many opportunities
 
But it goes to show that life can be short
We just never know  
Some of us are destined for long roads
And others
Like Selena
Were meant for greatness
 
From time to time I’ll push play  
And remember that day
Thinking that no matter what card we’re dealt
We must tread forward
With a great weight of memories from the past
