She`s Gone

A blackened wick is what remains<br>The flame was blown out just recently<br>Although the candle hadn`t burned down to the stick<br>It won`t be lit again, the day won`t be so bright<br>We don`t know what she may have been<br>All we know is what she left behind<br>An apartment cluttered with children`s toys,<br>Photos of good times<br>In the bedroom, there`s sheets on the windows<br>There`s a four poster bed for a reason<br>There`s a box on the floor full of secrets<br>It won`t be opened<br>Here older boys and girls would play<br>All inhibitions were left behind<br>As the door would close, her face began to shine<br>This was her finest hour, this was her finest time<br>Now, she`s gone, and it`s not gonna be alright, not for me<br>She`s gone, but not forgotten, she`s still here<br>In all those years she touched so many lives<br>Who`s gonna watch the little girl she left behind?<br>Carol Anne stands alone in the school yard<br>All the other children have gone<br>After waiting for hours, <br>She can`t understand why her mother left her sad<br>In the darkness she sees definition<br>In the silence, she hears someone calling<br>After nightmares, she lies in bed screaming<br>But there`s no reaction<br>There`s no one listening, there`s no one<br>Now, she`s gone, and it`s never gonna be alright, not for me,<br>She`s gone
