She was something so marvelous,
Something I could never understand.

Her smile said a thousand words,
Although her lips rarely made a sound.

Her eyes held abandoned stories,
Like none I have ever heard before.

Her laughter like a song so sweet,
Not an artist could do her justice.

I watched her fall apart one day,
And then I realized just what she was.

She was a gift so rare to live;
The perfect poem with a heartbeat.
