RIP Cousin Coco

They found your body on Monday 

I got the news last night

I cried, My eyes became dry

Your cause of death was a heart attack

But the apartment you rented with a couple of your friends

The building manager cut off the heater and did not warn anybody 

The building cut off the heating system because he couldn’t offered the building anymore 

Due to COVID-19

They found your body frozen because of a snow storm in PA brought the weather below 30 degrees

I spent most of my childhood with you

You did not have a chance to see me now as a teenager

 You did not have a chance to see how much I grew 

You did not have a chance to see me 

God why did you take him away?

I hate you God, I wanted him to see my kids

I miss you Coco

I hope your in heaven walking around those streets of gold 

In the presence of God

I hope your not in hell right now 

I can’t keep my mind straight 

Everytime I think of you I want to cry

I woke up with hatred towards God

I asked myself why the hell did you take him away?

Before Christmas are you kidding me

You were only 40

You would have turned 41 next month

You were so young 

You lived the street life, selling weed, getting arrested

I miss you Coco, I hope you are walking the streets of Gold 

I hope your looking at the gates of pearls right now 

I fucking miss you

God I hate you

Why should I continue praying to you?

Why should I continue worshiping you?

Why do you hate me?

He didn’t have a chance to see the man I have become 

He didn’t have a chance to see how much I grew and see that I am 6’3”

I just literally asked about you on Sunday to my mom

The next day they found your body frozen 

My heart is in fucking pain

I hate my life right now

I hate my creator 

I can’t stand this pain anymore 

I want it all to end 

I want that building manager to die now because of what he did 

He deserves to die

RIP Cousin Coco, I love you.
