The light kept getting fainter and fainter,
It seemed to wither further and further away,
My life, from beginning to now, seemed to blur,
Until I thought back to that day,
Where nothing felt as it was or were,
As I watched them carry her away,
I saw that her life may no longer stir,
I told myself that it would all be okay.

They used a cloth to cover her frame,
To keep the darkness from my view,
And still I felt the deep ache of blame,
That seemed to take over all that I knew,
Her life had hardly begun, not even with a name,
She just came into my world, when away she flew,
Out of my grasp and everlasting love, so tame,
Away she goes, without a mere clue.

Life is forever a dark and cruel trick,
Happiness is neither eternal nor definite,
People break down, children get sick,
Fate, simply chosen like names out of a basket,
Life is unfair, who knows how they pick,
Just who will be next is up to the bigot,
She was too young, left my heart with a nick,
I slipped into the darkness as the light extinguished.
