A Poem Dedicated to Kataang. Be carefee! (million bucks to whoever can

guess who said that)

This one's been known to get people welled up. (at

least, that's what it was with my family, but maybe they were tears of

laughter...hmmmm...)

Anyways, it was basically the founding bit to a

song I wrote. But I won't bore you with that...

----------

Because You're Gone

Standing there, all alone.

Because of you.

No one now at my side.

Because of you.

Because you helped me.

Because you healed my broken heart.

Because you made me believe.

Because you gave me hope.

Because the four of us together made the image that marks the place where you lay now.

Because you would've wanted that.

Because the breeze slowly moves around me

Almost whispering to me as if

You were there.

Because you were.

But then it fades

Because you did also

Just before you fell...

Because no waterbending can stop these tears

Because every soft whistle of wind through the trees

Reminds me of you

Because no comforting words can make me feel as safe,

Just as secure, like you did.

Because of you now, the world is free

Except for one person--me.

Because no amount of healing can mend a broken heart.

Because you're gone.
