A Story to be Told

A happy family
that's how the story will start
a simple beginning
that will end with a simple ending
the death of a dear one that they never understood
the words of an argument will she part with
words that were never meant to be said were said
a mournful cry was the last thing she heard
a repeating memory that will never end
surrounded by darkness will she be
yet given a second chance
a second beginning to live another life
yet her story had ended
the day she took her last breath

No one understood her
no one cared about her story
and she didn't care one single bit
her story was done
someone else's was being told
yet no one knew
as the shadows of the past
came and play amongst the living
a final death was needed
for a final goodbye
the happy family will part with forgiveness
a sad smile on her face
will they last see

Yes, her story has already been told
another has finished
so a new one will begin
in it's place
a never ending cycle
yet one question comes to mind
why did her story had to start at the end
when it wasn't her place to tell?
