Why Did You Have To Die

start
Why did you have to die

I wake each morning to start a new day
In hopes this hollow feeling has gone away
It hurts so much not to see your face
Nothing could ever take your place
I sit and think of you then I start to cry
I miss you guys so much, why did you have to die 

This isn’t how it was supposed to be
 Never would have imagined in my worst dreams 
We were to be a whole family
To grow old and live happily 

Taken just three years apart
You will never be forgot
My husband and my daughter
Having two gone is so much harder
God took both of you
It makes it hard to continue
 I always ask “Why”
Why you guys have to die 
The loneliness I feel
Is so surreal
The ache in my heart, the long sleepless nights
I don’t see happiness, it’s nowhere in sight
Always on my mind
Peace I’ll never again find

Before you guys left I used to be strong
Now I feel like I don’t belong
Something is missing
Something is wrong
My life is not the same
I really want someone to blame
I used to be happy, laughing all the time
Now here I sit writing a sad little rhyme
Why you guys have to die ?
Can’t someone please tell me why
