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
