News of Her Passing

She stood among the many faces of the volume Yet, she remained a silent presence in the active world She looked about, feeling lost and deep isolation Just too much to truly handle for this little girl Though a woman in years, her mind was so very young There was no complete understanding grasped, ever held Her wish, to fit, to fill, to just be a major part of the rest With dreams and hopes, alive within, to never quell The sunlight turned a blind eye upon her that June day As darkness overcame her thoughts, creating then more strife That lost, lonely girl, may she find the peace she always sought For on that day in June, the world cried, she took her very life A poet of the world, a gift for many hungry minds For our eyes can only now look upon her written past As no more dreams to write of, nor thoughts expressed I pray she found her happiness and that it lasts Godbye my friend, sorry I wasn't there for you. I am also sorry and saddened that time and so many miles came between us.
