I wrote this after my cousin/best friend died 2 years ago....





Why do we go away?


More and more die everyday


A new friend is born when and old friend dies


An old mother weeps while a new mother cries


Emotions of love plus hurt equal fear,


And we lose someone we hold so dear


Yesterday, today, and tomorrow bring pain


As more of our loved ones leave on a train


To someplace that we don't know of


Maybe it's someplace up above


And maybe something will come to take the place


But we've already been lost in space


Their reasons for leaving remain unknown


While sorrow and pain are the only things shown


Why do we hurt? Why do we hate?


With everyday, we come closer to fate


How long do we have to repent when we've caused others sorrow?


We'll never know; there may not be a tomorrow....
