Gone

It was the beginning of April

when I noticed

just how much you changed

from the girl I once knew

to a girl anew

❁❁❁❁

Gone was your hair

and gone was your smile

❁❁❁❁

up in the clouds

standing free and tall

was a girl whose name

was still unknown

with a heart of gold to prove it all

❁❁❁❁

Gone was your pride

and gone was your sight

❁❁❁❁

running free and wild

with nothing but the wind

holding her back

was a girl

with bravery and happiness to share

❁❁❁❁

Gone was your breath

and gone was everything else

for your life was lost

to death himself

he gave your body

to heaven itself
