Ten Years

It's been ten years:

Since I saw you smile, heard your laugh

or felt you loving arms around me for a hug.

Everything around reminds me of you.

Since that's day that I found out that

You were gone forever. And no matter what

I did I couldn't change it.

And you would give anything to go back and

Change that one moment in time and you

blame yourself for what happened.

And you wonder what their life could have been

like. You wonder how God could take them

Away before they even lived.

And people don't know what its like crying

yourself to sleep every night. You cry until

No more tears can be shed.

And every morning you hide the pain deep

Inside you. Painting happiness and smiles

On your face.

And your heart has been ripped out and

Can never be healed again. Your walking

Around empty inside.

No one can ever get over this pain you

feel inside. People don't know what its like

Until it has happened to them.
