A new day dawns,
life continues for others
as normal.
Yet mine's stopped.
It stopped when I
heard the news
"they're dead".

Feels so unreal,
my world
turned upside down.

How could this be?
How will I get through?
When will the heartache
begin to slowly ease?

Not one blow,
but two.
Just obliverated
in an instant,
what a waste!

So much they had
to offer the world.
So many dreams
now left unfufilled.

Why did this have to happen?
Why is it the good have to die
and the bad get to live?
Please just tell me why and now
... quick ...

I need to know
in order to
start living my life again.

I know that's what they'd want.
They wouldn't want
sadness or misery.
They'd want the sun
to rise in my life
once more,
for me to smile,
to laugh,
to be the way I was
when they were here,
to help me,
guide me along
in my life ... like I did them.
