abigail gilbert
was tall and slim and dark
she used to turn the boys heads
up in botanic park
friday she'd go down the city
be the rave scene queen
every old man's envy
every school boy dream.
abigail gilbert
was head girl at school
lived wild on the edges
but didn't break a rule
abi was every teacher's pet
and everybody's friend
but with all the love of others
you gotta respect you in the end
abigail gilbert
had a pain to hide
to be true to herself
it had to be denied
the fear of the fail
the fear of the fade
always her hardest critic
she could never make her grade
abigail gilbert
blows on the breeze today
her ashes were scattered
at helen's bay
abigail loved the ocean
cause it never grows old
unlike her ageing body
but just like her soul.
