The Memories Will Never Fade

Our hearts are plagued with sadness,
Our souls are drenched in pain.
Because the memories of that fateful day,
We know will never fade.

The world seemed to stop turning
And time appeared to freeze.
How could this have happened?
Why have their lives been ceased?

Faces turned the color of snow.
Each and every smile disappeared.
Lips trembled from the unreal shock.
And eyes were glazed over with fear.

The rooms went eerily silent.
No one could believe the news.
Such a tragedy striking our little school?
It couldn't possibly be true.

A fatal go-kart accident,
And two of our classmates gone.
How could such an innocent ride,
Go so inexplicably wrong?

We miss their wit, their laughter, their jokes.
We miss their guilty grins.
We miss how they were more than friends,
How they seemed like they were twins.

It's not fair, they were too young.
They did not deserve to die.
They belong with us, here on Earth,
There should not have been goodbyes.

Even though summer has arrived,
And we're onto high school next year.
We guarantee that the memories and love,
For these boys will not disappear.
