Let Her Be

She is gone

She wanted to be herself

She never did belong

All because she wanted to resemble an elf

No one ever mocked her

You refused her support

You wouldn’t let her be the author

So she cut her story short

She is dead

Because you couldn’t learn to trust

Now look where it led

Where all that remains is dust

I hope you’re happy

You have reaped what you have sown

Don’t you dare get sappy

You turned her to bone
