Rest Poem by Kev Elmer

From the second I heard the news,
my world stopped spinning around.
I can remember feeling cold,
as my heart forgot to pound.

Tears streamed down my face,
as I choked out a reply.
Of all the words thats in my head,
I could only ask why.

Blood shot eyes sunk in my skull,
and endless days without any sleep.
Since I heard about her death,
I seemed to of lost my feet.

The time has come to see her rest,
as she lay in her final bed.
A dark brown box and a cross on the top,
with the insides lined red.

There she lay so peaceful and still,
but no smile on her face.
With skin so pale and no more glow,
I hope shes in a happy place.
