She's Really Gone Poem by LaTisha Parkinson

She's Really Gone
I haven't started missing her
even though she's gone
and even though she was my best friend
I prayed that she'd be around
when I needed her the most
and she was there
she listened and she comforted me
I knew her time was coming
for she was getting old
and I know that I'd never be ready
to say goodbye
maybe that's why my face is dry
because I haven't cried
she never said much
but actions speak louder than words
the fact that she was there
took away the hurt
I would cry and she
would wipe my tears away
it's been two days now
and I'm still standing strong
I can't cry now
because the tears will stain my face
that's be the sign
that she is really gone
