Always Remember

Dedicated to an old friend of mine, I hadn't seen her for a long time and now I never will be able to again... R.I.P. Alleria (09/93-08/2012) ---------------------------------------- I will always remember you, your beauty and your grace I will always remember how the light shined on your face The pain and shame you felt was far too great Buried in torturous self-hate I will always miss you I will always miss the activities we used to do It was not fair to watch you drown To let you slip, let you go down I will never forgive myself for not helping you more I will never forgive myself for letting you walk out that door I should have done something to help you I should have showed you that it was going to be okay, that I was here for you But now, it is far too late You gave up, let yourself suffocate I cry often when you stray into a thought Wishing and hoping for naught But I will always remember you, your beauty and your grace I will always remember how the sun lit up your face
