In Loving Memory Of Sharmy

Your voice echoes through my mind
As I see you stride to class
But as I enter your chair is left empty
Only a single rose lies there

My mind cannot believe this reality
It cannot conceive what happened
It cannot face this unbearable truth
You just can’t be gone, you can’t

I attempt to walk down the silent halls
Striving to pull myself together
Striving to be strong like you
But it’s impossible to do

Then I stand by your locker
See the flowers and the candles
Emotionless I stand, until it hits me real hard
…you’re gone

You’re imprinted in my mind, my heart, my soul
I drowned in my tears, my hearts inside out
But I think for a moment and feel your presence all around
You never left for a second, your spirit floats about
