you took my innocence away with the light of death
you opened me to a world i never wanted to see
beside you i was not, as you took your last breath
could God have waited before setting you free

you left us without a word of complaint or farewell
you never gave me a chance to make things right
seen it coming i should have, signs like a warning bell
could God make our problems take flight

you lay asleep in your favourite blouse with such stillness
you responded not to our heartfelt calls and anguish cries
the last i would see you it was, in all its actualness
could God give us more time for goodbyes

you have us a reason to gather but you were not present
you would have said the flowers were beautiful and held our hands
eternal rest you were given, awaken not by sound or scent
could God tell us all His plans


i cant bring myself to complete it, neither could i find the right words to say. so here it is in all it's plain-ness and simplicity.
