I closed my eyes and refused to see the pain It was all around me and I turned away from those who asked They wanted hope, love and help but I said it was to much to ask Oh God, I turned my back on her Christmas day I sent her away and now I'm watching the news Their taking her body away on the stretcher I cant stop crying its my fault she's dying I left her out in the bitter cold I left the frail woman alone I went to see her today but I was to late Her funeral is next week and my heart is about to break She left me lonely and cold in her wake Why didn't I try Because of my selfisheness She had to die ******************************** Copyright 2002 Written by Akira Akira |

OH what a sad situation you found yourself in. Still, you should not blame yourself for has happened. I know we could all do much more to help others...and maybe your write just brought that to many others attention. Possibly you saved many others today. ~Salty |
