After You're Gone

Yesterday we spoke

Our last words

Replaying like

A broken record



I keep wondering

Our last conversation

Should have been

Something different



Truth never told

My secret I kept

I admired you

You never knew



I speak to you

You are gone

To far to hear

My final goodbyes



People you thought

Always hated you

Stood over your grave

Crying tears like rain



My bleeding regret

Of our painful farewell

Dirt falls down

Eyes burn with tears



Sobs and wails

Echo through time

A slower reality

Where cries last forever



Tears of sorrow

Each for you

Memory and love

We longingly remember



The cold air

Chills my skin

The unfamiliar essence

Of watching strangers



Your lost soul

Beyond oceans

Outside this world

Further than space



Memories of you

In heart and mind

Though we live

You live on


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this for the 6 teenagers that died in the unfortunate car accident a few weeks ago. I did not know them but I feel sorrow for the families and friends that loved them. My sympathies are with you.
