In Memoriam of Whitney Adeniran

I only have a photograph left. A preserved moment in time To serve as a reminder of how things were When you and I were present. In Paradise, I can see your bright eyes. Every day when I awaken. I converse and embrace your photographs. I'm not sure how much. I mourn you being here. My spirit is always heavy, never stops. I frequently hear people say.  That time will make the pain go away,  But if I'm being completely honest, I pray it won't. Those past hurts. To have witnessed your theft Due to the carelessness of Chrisland School. However, the light is obscured. Under a cloud of night Without a single speck of a blue sky I remembered you coming to my room. Rubbing my mascara on your beautiful face And wearing my shoes facing the mirror. I remembered how you make us proud. Bloosoming the first flower Of my youthful age. You will never get to wear those beautiful dresses. You will never get to dine with us again. You will never get to achieve those dreams. I need to feel you constantly, To get me through the day. I loved you so very much. Before i go astray. The angels came and took you, That really wasn't fair. They took my one and only first fruit, My future life, my fountain of youth. If only they had asked me If I would take your place. I would have done so willingly, Leaving you in this world to grace. You should have had so many years. While I watch your life unfold, And in the midst of this, To put you through! I hope you're watching from above, To avenge your death And let there be no doubt at all, I really do love you.
