Losing Someone

Losing someone can be challenging.

The sorrows stay within you. 

The heart will cry; the brain will hurt.

The love will be lost and never will be back.

Once you lose someone, they will never come back.

We all hate to lose each other.

But we can’t stop it either.

If you keep drinking the sorrow soup, the more you regret it.

          No one hears the cries and the pain.

Shh...listen, don't you hear?

I'm crying, but they are soundless tears.

I'm screaming yelling on the inside, so you can't see them.

All of the pain is running through me that is breaking me down.

The holidays come, but we sit in sadness and watch others.

What's the purpose of celebrating?

While the ones you admired have gone.

It's only the start of another year,

Another year of fighting and struggling alone.

Depression is moving through my head.

These feelings make me think of death,

The Mystery which blanks my mind.

A walk within the graveyard, what can I find?

The day this happened, I cursed it.

When God took my dad away.

A heart attack that he got took his life away.

I wonder why he took him from me.

It happened so quickly we couldn’t even see it coming.

Doctors gave up so did we tried whatever we could to save him.

In the end, nothing really happened I lost my dad and no one cared.

When we put him in the graveyard.

Black shadows wander within the graves.

How many lives have not been saved?

Six feet under, if not deeper,

How can I find the grave that I dug?

I know one era this is where I'll stop.

Act I’m afraid? I don't believe so!

Will I be capable of exploring the taste of death

After I've caught my last breath?
