She's Gone
She’s gone
Family grasps at solid smoke
Trying to comprehend
The real intrudes upon the home
And says that life must end
She’s gone
And closer yet we feel
Akin to all the others
Who stood at graves around us here
And bid farewell to mothers
The things that we had meant to do
Things now we cannot share
Another lesson left to learn
Still teaching us to care
She’s gone?
No
Never
Ever
