Day three - Gone

Um, friends and I received some bad news today. In keeping with my personal challenge to complete NaPoWriMo, I just threw this together. It's not even close to being good. But there you are. Day three.


Gone

Good-bye isn't the right word
because this whole thing is
senseless and wrong

Farewell is too pretty
and there's nothing pretty
about you being gone

There's nothing to say
and no words left

We tried to talk to you
we tried our best

I can't speak for all,
just for myself,
but I'm angry as hell

We were here,
we wanted to listen
we wanted to help

Why didn't you just
call?
