16 days after

And they were remembering

Just the way they wondered

Surrounded by her collection of pages

And the scent of burned candles

59 days after

And they were reading her pages

Just the way she had

Surrounded by her

And the scent of summer flowers

114 days after

And they were settling

Just the way she meant for them

Surrounded by the maze

And her idea of getting out

115 days after

And nothing would ever quite be the same

Just how she mysteriously loved them

She was gone but they knew how

And she had left them the only way she knew

Straight and fast.
