Abrupt Silence

Here one day gone the next I did not know you very well You were always nice to me Commonalities in passing Sudden sadness in the clouds The old heads respected you Sadness in everyone’s heart Grief in everyone’s eyes Stillness in your energy gone The type of sudden sadness Which leaves you in shock The type of sudden sadness Which brings abrupt silence The type of sudden sadness Which hollows you out inside The type of sudden sadness When kindness of 37 years young dies
