I can see through the smile on your face
To the agony in your soul,
How can anyone dare to understand
The paths your feet have treaded upon
You fought what seemed to be a war
A battle was waged between your body and your soul
Embracing the moment, now your race is done
Alone you are, by yourself with no one to lean on
A rose among thorns you were
Filled with life, your words will live forever
You were an original, unique, one of a kind
No regrets you lived a full life, though still you were only here for a time
The life you lived was far from perfection
Nevertheless, who knew that someone so special as you
Who was loved by so many, and so talented, favored, and blessed
Would ever be…
Gone Too Soon, Gone Too Soon, Gone Too Soon
…I love you
