To Mother, Father, and Quigley

When you lose a loved one

Who means the entire world to you,

Your world turns upside down

And you don't know what to do.

You can't seem to understand why

When your mind is not your own,

You can't seem to look forward

When your feeling so alone.

Weeks and months start passing by

And you manage in a way,

Your heart still feels broken

Silent thoughts and memories stay.

What I'd give to see you again

For just a little while,

I often sit and think of you

And remember with such a smile.

I'd want to say so many things

I don't know where I'd start,

I seem to have lost my visions

With the sorrow that clouds my heart.

We shared some happy times together

And we shared some sad ones too,

But the saddest day of my life

Was the day that I lost you.

In the ruins of a fire

One possession we acquired

The brass telescope from Father's desk

Still resolute and statuesque

Mr Poe came to get us outside the ruins of our old home today.

He took us to his house for lunch, then gave us the uniforms to our new school. It is a white button-down shirt under a grey jumper and a maroon blazer. Duncan gets to wear pants, but I have to wear tights and a skirt. Then Mr Poe drove us three hours.

It is a place called Prufrock Prep

I fear Mr Poe made a dreadful Misstep

The one in charge is Vice Principal Nero

Who Thinks he is such a violin hero
