The Silence In the Room
It was the longest goodbye
But it came too soon
Nothing could prepare us
For the silence in the room
We wanted you for longer
You held on for a while
But parts of you were leaving
Long before we lost your smile
The joy your smile brought us
And the memory of your face
Will stay with us forever
And help fill our empty space
