How Could You Leave Us

I lie awake in my bed.
It keeps running through my head.
I can't believe you are dead, you are gone.
This feels oh so wrong.
I can't believe I won't see your smile, hear your laugh, see your eyes.
It makes me really want to cry.
You left us here all alone,
Making our warm hearts turn to cold.
You said you loved us, you said you cared, if you did then you still be here.
You swim through the ocean, soar through the breeze, you are what surrounds us, at least that’s what I believe.
You were many things to all of us.
What went wrong?
What went through your head?
What pushed you to the limit?
I think about it every waking minute.
The questions will never be answered, never go unsaid, all because you are dead.
All we feel now is loss, sorrow, pain, anger, guilt, sadness, very little happiness;
I am surprised we haven't hit madness.
Help us live, help us love, help us move on, help us be one.
