In the Black of Night

(in memory of "Black") 


Another soul has left this lonely place, 
A place without end, 
A time that will not stand still, 
With one shot 
She left this world as an unknown 
Just another number, 
Jotted down in the book of time 
And thus gone in the black of night.

Even though it's a short poem it is full of emotions.
