Gone
The woman wore a hat
The only thing she had left of her son

The woman who collapsed and broke down in tears in my arms
I turned to her for comfort
Because that was what I needed
I said to her "I don't know what to do"
She said "Just be Ray"

But I cannot anymore because a part of me was taken away from me and I don't have even a hat. The woman in the hat scattered ashes. That was all that was left

And then I One man who lost a best friend and a lover with a shattered heart that will never fully heal.
