CHRISTINE Christine was, at 12 years old, The wisest child I knew, With eyes that looked right in my soul, And tears like morning dew. Her older sister Amy Was my sweetheart in high school But young love often fades, you see Some great unwritten rule Christine often came to me When her world grew hard to bear and I was her friend, or tried to be and I couldn't help but care. I loved her like a sister then, I think she loved me too, But I went off to college and, The miles between us grew. I loved her like a sister, then, I think she loved me too, But I went off to college and, The years just kind of flew. But Amy called the other day She sounded so confused And through her tears I heard her say She had some awful news They found Chris on the bathroom floor She'd slit her wrists, and died She took her life at 24 Oh, where the hell was I? She took her life, and broke our hearts I never will know why When her whole world all fell appart Just where the hell was I? Torre DeVito
