Everyone watched in silence as she placed her old, shaky hands on the piano for one last time. A tear rolled down her cheek as she tried to remember what she had once played.
I stay huddled in the corner, too young to understand.
Now she is dead.
Gone.
Forever.

Nice capture of the duality of young and old – ‘tried to remember’ and ‘too young to understand’
It is startling that someone so young could manage to capture this kind of moment. I hope you will always work on your writing as you grow up, even if just for your own satisfaction. Congratulations!

I think you mean “for” instead of ‘gor’ but I agree with you completely. I really like it.

Thank you for sharing this. This is truly a testament to the power of words; it is amazing that so few can evoke so many emotions. You have a wonderful talent….keep on writing!
