In memory of Simeona Rizzo
Passed away September 27, 2001
I was alone,
Scared,
Depressed,
And yet no one could understand.
No one knew what to say
Or how to act.
I was there when it happened.
These pictures playing over and over in my mind.
These images of a woman full of life
Crumbling before my eyes.
I was there when she died,
When her soul was taken,
When the priest came,
And when the ambulance crew couldn't save her.
I was there, and I didn't know what to say.
It all happened so suddenly,
So silently and,
Ever so peacefully.
I was there, and I didn't believe it.
I thought it was a dream.
I wanted to die, too,
But I knew it was just her time.
Now all I have left
Is my memories of her,
And they're in my mind;
The heart and soul,
They never die.
