R.I.P.

I look around and everywhere
i see pain and hurt so deep
everywhere tears are streaming
for what they can not keep
two deaths have rocked this town
down to its very core
so many people hurting
i can't take it anymore
i see a beautiful soul
torn by all the pain
i long to reach out and comfort
to bring a healing rain
i feel so helpless
there's nothing i can do
i can't take away their pain
as much as i may want to
all of you are drowning
in a sea of tears
i wish i could help you
relieve the pain that sears
whitney and lacey are gone
we all miss them so much
they were wonderful people
and they'll be remembered as such
they're forever in our minds
forever in our hearts
the pain will always remain
like little stabbing darts
you've both touched so many lives
we don't know why you had to die
but tears stream down our faces now
as we say our last goodbye
