Undone

Why did you have to leave me now
A woman I had just become
You needed to stay for my life
Unraveling, my hope is coming undone

Surely I will miss your sweet arms
Holding me tight as we would lay
Tears now roll down my face
I yearn and plead for you to stay

Why did death knock on your door
Sturdy I imagined it was
Even though the time you suffered was long
Swift Death did best what it does

I still long to hear your laughter
Roar from deep in your gut
Now all I hear is sorrow
As your casket is sealed shut

Plagued by gloomy thoughts
Dolor is my current state
The world has been placed upon my shoulders
My burden is now deep weight

How can I smile now
even though it would be what you wanted
Separated I feel so isolated
To you I have now parted

Yet my smiles are fake
With my eyes I plead
Never let me forget the service
Your love is what I need

Oh how I dearly miss you so
Your stories and your smiles
Oh how I miss our horseback rides
We would amble for miles

These memories are to painful
How can I be happy for what I miss
Dreams turn into distress
This cannot be pure bliss

Mourning is a fate I know not
And I was hoping you wouldn't be the first
Grieving is destroying my very core
This pain I am not well versed

Why did you have to leave me now
My life has just begun
You needed to stay for me always
Unraveling, my hope is coming undone
