They say life goes on
People mourn, people forget
But that’s not for everyone, is it?
For some, it is too much to bear
Like her parents
Who lost their only child
All this time, she was their everything
But now, she’s gone, leaving them with nothing
Like her dog
Who can never greet her again
All these evenings waiting for her
But now, she’s gone, leaving him at the door
Like her best friend
Who lost his only true friend
All these years of talking about the future
But now, she’s gone, leaving him alone to live it
They all wail their hearts out
Every sob an attempt at healing their hearts
All her life, their love for her was filled with colors
But now, she’s gone, the love a hazy black stain
It hurts to see them hurt
She wants to be with them everyday
All these days she could hug them tight
But now, she’s forced to venture on, away from light
Her life flashes before her
And just like that, she’s in the void
All these years wondering what death would feel like
And now, she could see, it was but a magical woe
The void empowers her
Prepares her to fight for them
All these years of wanting a superpower
And now, she smiles as their guardian angel.
