They lower your coffin down.
Covering you with dirt.
I can't believe that you're gone.
I'm still repeating the same question in my head.
How?
~~~~~~~~~Everyone at school was quiet.
Nobody talked.
Neither did the teachers.
Everyone's eyes were tired and sad.
It was a day of silence for the girl who killed herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~I used to visit you everyday after school.
I would place a dozen white roses on your grave, next to the colorful flowers that other people put down.
The cold hard stone always taunted me.
I tried to not notice the name written on it.
But it was hard.
They used to tell me to be strong and hold on.
But how can I do that
When I'm already dead?
