You're Gone

Numbing the shock of losing you,
I will never defeat
youre every scar that runs through me
and every drop of blood that I secrete

I never thought youd be murdered
Its not even something I comprehend
for when I heard you were gone
a broken heart was all I could lend

You had so much going for you
a baby 4 months away
a brand new gift into your life
but somehow the path became astray

everyone has done their best to cope
and I know that they try to hide
the feelings that run deep into their veins
and into their heart where the pain resides

i swore id kill the man who did this to you
and i swear i will to this day
how could he be such an a-- hole
and take someone like you away?

the police found you on a Tuesday,
or at least thats what they said
your body was in a dumpster
and they knew that you were dead.

i heard about it in the morning
and i fell to my knees in tears
all i could do was cry
this was the worst of my fears

i immediately thought of your mother
who i had called mom too
i ran out of class and went downstairs
to the other mother that we both knew

it was always nice having 3 moms,
yours,amandas,and mine,
im sure they never knew
their number of daughters would change in time.

i know that no one will forget
and your family is doing well
the memory of you lasts forever
and they have so much of you to tell

even after your funeral
the crying didnt cease
for a solid stone was engraved
dear hannah, rest in peace
