In Remembrance

These are the last words that I can say to you
A piece of myself dies within. Another piece to cherish forever
Do you remember the times we shared
And I keep playing these memories over
and over inside my head
I'll never forget you.
It lays heavy on my heart to think that I was never there you
To be a witness. To be a friend
and save you from this plague
Writing all the chapters with our hands raised high
But we burn all the pages with the fires we ignite
Still the words often seem so empty
We fall so short of our capabilities
