Gone forever
August 1, 2011
They said you were gone
In a split second
The words cut right through me
My life changed in one second
One second
One second is all it take
I still don't believe it
That all it took was one second
And you were gone forever
With all the other names in on tombstones
Now I lay flowers and letters over yours
Asking why you left me
Now I memorize those words on your grave
