13 Year Old Ruby

I lost enough of you

The cause was time

Gone not lost

Paths

They seem to be waving all around me

In circles and through me

Always pressed for time

Never having enough

I search for you

But your ghost dances

Around me forever

Never finding rest

I can't believe that you are gone

Face down is how i see you

Now i see life in plain view

You left signs i never did see

Can i avoid the same route you took?

When you grew old you got too bold

Wishing it was just my turn to be the one

Who made a change in someone

Now you have the chance to look down
