Arielle

February 4, 2018

Arielle,

you were light

you were gone before we saw this

when you left it was dark

I couldn’t see

who could replace such a beautiful thing

nobody

so it stays dark,

like the darkness right after the sun sets

i pretend like it’s a dream,

like you’ll still be here when wake up

i woke up

i woke up and there was light

not the same kind

not the blinding beautiful light you had

but a soft peaceful light

full of acceptance, love, hopefulness

and now i can see

it’ll be okay

you touched me

you touched everyone around you with your light

it will never fade

thank you

i miss you

- Elana.

In Memory of a dear friend, Arielle is gone but never forgotten.
