For those who didn't get to say goodbye

by beliverinlife

I've seen this floating around profiles for awhile and I know by experience that they don't get read a lot, so I decided to post it here. This version is altered to clary, Jonathon brings a gun to the institute. Extremely sad! I've read this one and the original multiple times and every time I nearly cry or cry! The original is on my profile a bit of a way down.

Mom...Jonathon brought a gun to the institute,

He told us that it was cool,

And when he pulled the trigger back,

It shot with a great, huge crack.

Mom, I was a good girl, I did what I was told when I knew it was right,

I went to school, I got good grades, and I even got the gold!

When I went to the institute that day,

I never said good-bye.

I'm sorry that I had to go, But Mom, please don't cry.

When Jonathon shot the gun, he hit me and another,

And all because Jonathon, got the gun from Valentine.

Mom, please tell Luke; That I love him very much,

And please tell Jace; my boyfriend; that it wasn't just a crush.

And tell my little sister; that she is the only one now,

And tell our old dear sweet neighbor; I'll be waiting for her now

And tell my wonderful friends; that they always were the best

Mom, I'm not the first, I'm no better than the rest

Mom, tell my teachers; I won't show up for class,

And never to forget this, and please don't let this pass

Mom, why'd it have to be me? No one though deserves this.

But mom, it's not fair, I left without a kiss.

And Mom tell the doctors; I know that they really did try

I think I even saw one doctor, trying not to cry.

Mom, I'm slowly dying, with a bullet in my chest,

But Mom please remember, I'm in heaven with the rest

When I heard that great, big crack, I ran as fast as I could

Please listen to me if you would,

I wanted to learn to be a shadowhunter; I wanted to try things that were new

I guess I'm not going with Luke, on that trip to the new zoo

I wanted to get married; I wanted to have a kid,

I wanted to be a shadowhunter, I really wanted to live.

But Mom I must go now, the time is getting late,

Mom, tell my Jace, I'm sorry to cancel the date.

I love you Mom, I always have, and I know you know it's true

And Mom all I need to say is, "Mom, I love you"

Please if you would, don't smash this on the ground.

If you pass this on,

Maybe people will cry,

Just keep this in your heart,

For the people who didn't get to say "Good-bye".

Now you have 2 choices,

Pass this on and show you care, or forget this and show how cold-hearted you really are.
