Untitled

Our eyes were puffy while were still smiling

We walked around dazed

But we watched

We watched them live and breathe in peace

As nothing had happened

Little do they know our world had just come crashing down

 

"Attention Red Bank Regional, excuse the interruption,"

We held our breaths and waited for what we knew was coming

"I am saddened to announce the passing of one of our students, Riyahdna Farrow."

We all looked up at each other and time seemed to stand still

We knew it'd happened, we were the first to know

But that announcement made it all so real

Senior year and she was gone

We left that little room that reeked of our tears and memories shared

We were greeted with hugs and condolences

But none of that mattered

She was gone

No amount of hugs or "are you okays" was going to bring her back

Time went on and the condolences stopped coming, teachers asked for work to be handed in and we were expected to **** it up and move on but i didn't I couldn't

******* it I wanted her to come back

I wanted to wake up and her walk in and shout "APRIL FOOLS"

But it was September and I was still hurting

But that doesn't really seem to matter
