Death, Why?

Why did you have to leave to?

Why did you not say goodbye?

The culprit, Death, always gets what he wants

He separates the soul from the flash

And leave broken hearts

Blood dries, stale bones.

He takes the body to a dark lonely land

A land where darkness originated.

He then drags the body to a dark lonely hole

A hole that is impossible to claw out

You see your future fading right before your sight

With no power to make any light

But why?

Once you get to the very end of the whole

You see pain but no life

I'm trapped in this hole called life

Its hardships and tribulations are impossible to contain

I wash my face with tears of sadness every day

I've lost a pressures treasure of my life

Someone who made sense to my senseless life

Someone who was light on my dim dreams

She lived, she danced to the rhythm of life

How possible is death to the light of the earth

If so, the earth won't be the same.

The planet we call home will be filled with extreme sorrow

How will I be able to face tomorrow

I've lost a precious treasure of my life

But why?

She was my muse, my inspiration, my light.

When I lost my mom I was young

But when I lost granny I felt a sword of sorrow had torn my heart

Now I've lost my light.

I'm talking about a woman with a positive impact

Not just a woman but a hero,

Not just a hero but a role model,

Not just a role model but a friend,

Not just a friend but a sister,

Not just a sister but a mother,

A caring loving mother.

How unfair is life?

Rest in perfect peace, my love.

I hope the one above us, will restore your life.

Only then I will be happy again.

Rest in peace my heart, hoping that I will see you again.
