I'm gone so young

I walk to where I have the easiest day, 
The day of the prom with 3 hours to stay
Nice I say.

I wait for the time as I feel the butterflies
even though I know it’s not until the end of the day.

I have a confrontation with one.
I tell him I have a date for the prom.
I feel the tightness around my throat

As I feel myself fall my mind disappears for a moment.
Forgetting my fears forgetting what I feel, so bad
I feel something tight in my neck as I wonder.

I get sleepy as I lay as I’m taken away.
I see myself but I don’t feel
As though I left and will never heal

Why and what has happened to me I ask and feel.
I am gone now I know, Please let it go.

You cannot change what has happened to me 
I see as I’m gone all of you sympathies.

I know that I will miss all of you and the night that I lost.
It seems more to you, than to me the cost.

Please remember me the last time.
I love you all as I sit here and wait.
For all of you to join me in what is called fate.

Remember the good times
and forget what has been done.
He will pay in the end from the powers above.
Forever to be shunned.
