Ode to Aly; Aly is Gone..

 Aly, wish you were here..

But yet you aren’t..

You lay in some cremational oven,

Your soulless body burning,

To lie as a pile of ashes.

Aly, wish you were here...

 

Aly, wish you hadn’t left..

But you did..

The reason unknownest

To me or others,

Like your self-proclaimed brother.

Aly, wish you hadn’t left...

 

Aly, why didn’t you say good-bye?

It makes me miss you more..

Matt and I don’t understand

Why you did this,

What you spoke so strongly against.

Aly, why didn’t you say good-bye?

 

Aly, your siblings miss you..

But that change naught..

Matt is confused as why

You thought of him as a brother,

But never told him.

Aly, your siblings miss you...

 

Aly, so much fun we had..

Corrupting each others minds..

The adventures we had

And troubles we went through,

All fun and games.

Aly, so much fun we had...

 

Aly, why did you do it?

Was it because of the baby?

Your fiancé and mother?

The separation of us,

And not being able to hang out?

Aly, why did you do it?

 

 

Aly, you left me alone..

Sure, I have others..

But none know me

Quite as you did,

Able to know me as well.

Aly, you left me alone...

 

Aly, you missed my birthday..

My “sweet sixteen”..

Also Navy Ball as well

The only willing time

I was a lady.

Aly, you missed my birthday...

 

Aly, you don’t know the pain..

But maybe you do..

It hurts deep inside

To believe you are gone,

 To never come back.

Aly, you don’t know the pain...

 

Aly, I will do as you say..

As well as I can..

I will live my life

On without you,

As hard as it may be.

Aly, I will do as you say...

 

Aly, I haven’t said good-bye..

But I need to..

No matter if I want to

Or if I don’t,

 For I must.

Aly, I haven’t said good-bye...

 

Aly, I have to let you go..

But I don’t want to..

You are my twin

My other half,

And I can’t forget you but..

Aly, I am letting you go...
