“Saying goodbye”
By: Kaitlynn Traynor

Now you’re gone
Your spirit
Flies free
In my heart
As it stays
With me
Your body
Sits empty
In the ground
It lays
Down there
Not making
A sound
But the
Noise of
Your life
Cheers in
My heart
Cause with out
You here id
Fall apart
Even though
Your not
Physically here
The thought
Of you
Leaving me
Is my
Biggest fear
I know
Your body
It lays
To rest
But it
Belonged to
You
Who is
The best
For just being mine
Cuz every minute
I spent w/ you
Was the best time
So its time
To say goodbye
But your not
Rly gone
Cuz your
Spirit still
Flies
