Splash

You said you were born to make a splash
But I never thought it would be like this
An infinite ripple in our hearts
The black bottom of the lake we can never reach
No matter how long or deep we dive
You have gone before us
Though it was not God’s plan
You took it into your own hands
And we sit, silent, staring
Out onto the water that we can never calm
The waves we can never catch
And the you we can never have back.
