...and she was gone.

...and she was gone.

It seemed so simple to say, "she is gone, she left, disappeared... gone."
Then my legs left me too, for a moment, but the flour stopped my descent into the abyss.
Just gone, all gone, and with no warning... leaving a stuffed elephant, rich with her sent.
The questions arrived one by one, then all in a swarm of why's and what-ifs.
She was gone, and with her my insides, leaving only the memories of a heart.
I loved her, and she was gone.  
It seemed so simple to say...

...and she was gone.
