Rose City Chic


Shelli Marie - 2014
    My emotions were all over the place as I stared down at my one true love’s body lying in the cream and green colored casket. “I can’t stay long Baby. I don’t like to see you like this. I wanted to remember you just the way you looked the morning before all this shit happened. I want to visualize that same morning, when you made passionate love to me. The same morning you asked me to be your wife.” Closing my eyes, I put my hand on his chest and prayed, for his soul to rest in peace, and for mine that was becoming overwhelmed with vengeance. “They locked the bitch up that shot you and her trial begins soon. I promise you this, if she doesn’t see justice in the courtroom, she will surely face street justice by the hands of yours truly.” Giving him one last kiss, I closed the casket and placed the beautiful handmade lei’s created with white orchids on top. My heart ached deeply as I walked away. I knew that I would never see his face again.
