I begged you, 'please don't cry'
I said, 'everything will be okay'
Sometimes it feels right to lie
Blue skies always fade to gray
I promised I would be there
I let you rest your head on me
I tried to show you that I care
But did you know, sweet pea?
I wanted laughter to heal you
I pretended nothing was wrong
What pain is it you went through?
To make you stop your strong
Looking out the door, I see hope
How lonely it feels without my
Friend, to push me; help me cope
Echoing down my halls, 'why?'
No friend should die so young
Threads of time are fast undone
Your fiery spirit put out and wrung
What good did it do anyone?
My aching chest beats steady on
Your heart is still, eyelids locked
Nights following without a dawn
Though sun arises, light is blocked
I have lost my faith in any good
I knew I couldn't make you stay
Blue skies to gray, I understood
Not everything would be okay
For Elisabetta.
