Gone, Diana is gone 

Gone, taken away from her friends 

Friends, five friends in total 

Total devastation, painful silence 

Silence, deathly silence 

Silence, George stood still 

Still believing in life 

Life that no longer thrive among 

Among, not the dead, no 

No belief, disbelief, heart broken 

Broken, Rylen broke the glass 

Glass shatter, broken from flight 

Flight, thrown with a scream 

Scream, heart broken scream 

Scream, Isabella screams upward 

Upward to sky, screaming 

Screaming, “my fault, my fault” 

Fault of no one, “what if- if only’s” 

Only nothing, nothing changes 

Changes, Evelyn changes direction 

Direction, out the room 

Room alone, cries in the room 

Room, dark quiet place, only 

Only her cries to be heard 

Heard, Fiona heard first 

First with tears, first with pain 

Pain hidden, pain taken 

Taken away, Diana is 

Is Gone
