Gone Too Soon

For Our Silver Empress of TLC

AN: As many of you may already know,  is no longer with us and is among the stars. And, since she was one of the several people who gave me the courage to follow my passion of writing, I was shocked that someone could seem so confident online and be so fragile in real life. I know this sounds cliche, but when I heard from a girl named Rachel that she was dead because she committed suicide, I couldn't think. I began crying and shriveled into a ball, thinking "how could this happen to her?" I didn't want to believe it, and I still don't. But I'm writing this for you my Silver Empress of TLC. Because you will forever be missed by me and many others. I may not have met you, but I will always remember you and carry your kind words to me in my heart as long as I live.

....................

Angels fly among the stars and watch every night as the people of the world fall to rest. Some sleep soundly in beds, others on the comfort of the soil of Earth.

But sadly, some fall to rest in the hands of the angels and the stars. Their eyes drift shut one last time, and their beautiful souls going the angels and spend the rest of eternity in the cosmos as a star or a whistling spirit of the night. They soar on the dreams of their past life and live on the wonders of those who still live and walk on the Earth.

One such soul was that of our Silver Empress.

Her beauty could not be matched, and neither could her wit or charm. Elegance rang throughout any room she stepped into. Her name was known for miles and miles, and she was adored by any she befriended. It is true that her life an short. But when you're in a field, with flowers strewn about, which flowers do you pluck from the ground.

The most glorious and exquisite. The most beautiful and endearing. And only the ones that can place a smile on your face simply by giving them a glance.

With all of the grace and pleasure that the Silver Empress brought, it took a heavy tole on herself. But next to no one knew, and she dared no ask for help. One man she tried to acquire assistance from laughed in her face, and she told herself she would have to survive on her own.

Her luscious hair and sparkling eyes helped to place a disguise on her face. But the pain grew and grew until she could not bare it any longer. It broke many hearts and tore down many souls, but she chose death over life. All who knew her cried in despair and sorrow. For no one could believe that the Silever Empress was gone. Or that she wasn't coming back.

The day of her wake, hundreds came to adorn her eternally slumbering form with flowers and gifts to show how much they loved their Empress. She was the light of their lives and would hold a place in all of their hearts for as long as they lived. The people cried and cried as they all begged for the stars to return her to them, to give them another chance to help her. For years and years to come, the people would mourn her, and generations on would only know her as one thing.

Silver Empress was a kind and generous woman who deserved more than the world could ever give her. She was lost to despair far too soon, and lost her battle valiantly. And by this description her name would be carried on, and her life never forgotten or worn.

Thought the day she died was not the end for her. The angels and the stars took her into their arms as she wept, holding and comforting her as many has tried to do before. They named her their sister and took her into their family to be with them as long as she wished.

Her soul was dispersed among the sky to be seen as night by the living who longed to see her again. And while her life sleeps soundly in the daylight, she dances across the night sky in the stars who embraced her. So when the people gaze into the stars at night, they can see their shining Silver Empress again, and be with her for a little while longer.

One day, the people will join their Silver Empress in the stars. They will sing and dance with joy at the presence of their lovely Empress again.

And the people have something left to say to their Empress.

We love you and miss you. We hope you found peace and that you will have peace for the rest of time. We can't wait to see you again, and for the rest of our lives, we will remember you.

Goodbye our Silver Empress of TLC. Rest In Peace, forever and always.
