Loss...

I held them close, and now I cry.

I never even got to say goodbye.

Did they deserve to leave life so soon?

No longer able to look at the stars and moon?

It's not fair, they died, not of a natural cause.

And now... I have to deal with this loss.

A girl so young... so innocent and pure.

Didn't know what life had in store.

A woman so strong... so bright and wise

Didn't pass away in her sleep that night.

The pain is too much, knowing they're gone.

People tell me I gotta hold on.

But how can I do that when their faces haunt me?

When I close my eyes, it's their faces I see.

Goodbye young one, and goodbye to the wise.

To the siblings I could've had, no light in their eyes.

Goodbye to the ones I never got to meet.

To the ones I see smiling on the street.

Goodbye to the ones I never could've met.

The ones who died peacefully on their bed.

Goodbye to the pain, to the suffer and loss.

Goodbye to the people who claimed they were my boss.

Goodbye to my friend, and my family too.

Goodbye to everyone who I ever knew.

I miss everyone, and I'll miss you all, it's been fun.

But this is something that has to be done.
