i hate this feeling i cannot let go
far too long i stared down into that stream.
but i suppose what I reap I must sow.
she’s dropped into the underworld it seems.
or no; i know for sure that she is gone.
and no amount of lyres can bring her back.
i wish someone could turn time back anon
to save my family from this heart-attack
this is the fourth person i’ve seen descend;
yet this one hurts the most--i dare not cry
gnashing of teeth and weeping’s not her end
so there was no true reason for goodbyes
for i will see her in a better place
‘cause when i die i’ll see her face to face.
