Hurts

I sat and I waited for something to happen
But I was left with the dust and the ashes
Because it was too late and no one was safe
It left in my heart some deep gashes

Because I couldn't do anything to help
As I sat there crying
Small and useless I was
People I loved were dying

For reasons unbeknownst to me
They were taken so brutally
All the faults of our world
Had caught up to us finally

Maybe it was a punishment
For all the things I had done wrong
Or perhaps it was just the cruelty of fate
That had left them to die all along

Because it hurts to lose the ones you love
And there is no remedy for the pain
I try my hardest to make it through
And I might just come out with a gain

In the darkness there is always light
Always a hope to look for
It takes a lot of time, but
There is something out there, something more
