Death
You made sure there was nothing I could do,
feeling so shaky and powerless I just stood there
tears ran down my cheeks and I felt so weak
at that moment I wished I was someone who didn't feel,
that feeling that I can't bring back someone who is gone forever.
Do you ever give us a choice,
At times you give us a warning through sickness, but at times you just ambush us, sudden death
Question, do we have an expiry date?
If so, what is it then?
I don't mean to be so rude but I'm just trying to understand.
You left his body and cold began to take over,
I felt so afraid and pain ran me over
A second look at him and he was no more,
No more talk, no more laugh, no more crazy pointless jokes
At one point we were laughing and all of a sudden it was just cry
He had so much hope for life, hope to do bigger things
But when you came you just shattered it all in a matter of a second.
