You leave me one last smile
You know your days are cursed
You know as you travel mile by mile
But you will always be my first

Never expected you to leave me alone
Never wanted to be separated eternally
Never again will you ring my phone
Never to see you, now I burn internally

You promised me your heart
The tears that flowed as you kneeled
Said nothing would rip us apart
Now this wound shall never be healed

I see you leave, I said goodbye
Expecting, like a fool, to see you tonight
Now I hear the news, these tears I cry
Because it can’t be true… right?

The life we lived, was it a lie?
Because I can’t see what is right
Why, to save a life, must you die!
Now where am I gunna find my light

With you gone how am I gunna cope
This child my only sweet reminder
Of your blissful smile so full of hope
Now I ask god ‘couldn’t you be kinder’

Here I stand are you happy now
Never once did we forget
Even as I have to explain how
To save this child, your life is what you bet


The author's comments:
I wrote this thinking along the lines of the fear of losing someone.Even if they did something so amazing as saving another person we still would have ,at least once, a selfish thought like 'Why him, why not someone else' but then we realise what we thought was unfair and feel guilty.We can be as mad as we want at the person who life was sacrificed but nothing will change what happened.
