march sixth, 2025
a day i remember all of
but remember nothing
i was alive
i was there
maybe only hundreds of feet away
when she died

she died
she’s dead
she died
she’s gone

march sixth, forever a day marred
forever a day a life was cut short
so short
september ninth, 2012
the day she was born
109,479 hours
that’s how long she lived
394,124,400 seconds

she should have had years ahead of her

forever twelve years old
forever behind glass
forever the picture behind piles of flowers
and candles in the rain

forever the girl who changed in a second
from life to death
forever the girl who changed a school
forever arsema
forever a name remembered

i'm just still trying to make sense
of an impossible thing
