The best times of your life have not yet been lived


WHY
I can't believe this is happening
This could not ever be real
You were here yesterday
But today you’re gone

I can't believe this is happening
This is so, so wrong
Watching your grandfather
Watching you dead

You’re supposed to watch him
He's not supposed to watch you
Why did you have to be the one to die?
Why did you have to be the one to go?
Why did you have to be the one to get hit?
Why did he have to be the one to hit you?

Don't you know I'm gonna miss you
I love you, don't go
I know you'll always be in my heart
But you've shattered me apart

I can't imagine what you went through
I can't imagine what you felt
You were such a strong fighter
You fought until the end

But the times will never fade when we were kids
Dancing and singing to 90's hits
I know you might have forgotten
But I can never forget

You were the only one to get hit
Shotgun was where you'd always sit
If only you could of sat in the back
But I don't want anyone else you knew dead

I'm just so confused in my head
I don’t know where to go next
Cleaning out your room
Was the hardest thing I could have endured

Why was it her time to die?
Why was it her time to go?
Why did you have to be the one to die?
Why did you have to be the one to go?
Why did you have to be the one to get hit?
Why did he have to be the one to hit you?
I just want one question answered god
If there is a god
Why


The author's comments:
What inspired me to write this piece is just experiencing the difficult phenomenon of losing a loved one that is way too young to die. I hope to reach out to all who experienced losing a close person to their heart, to better understand the harsh unexplainable way of the nature of death sometimes. Most importantly to know you are not alone.
