I remember getting the call

“No Visitors”
You’re asleep
My heart shattered
My entire body began to ache
My insides begin to burn up
My body began to shut down
I fall
We didn't say goodbye
You couldn't speak to me

All I could do is cry
My brain couldn't comprehend
I would never see her big smile again
Never hear her loud laugh
Never hear her encouraging words
My best friend flew away
