Love Poem: Death

Death

You made sure there was nothing I could do,

feeling so shaky and powerless I just stood there

tears ran down my cheeks and I felt so weak

at that moment I wished I was someone who didn't feel,

that feeling that I can't bring back someone who is gone forever.

Do you ever give us a choice,

At times you give us a warning through sickness, but at times you just ambush us, sudden death

Question, do we have an expiry date?

If so, what is it then?

I don't mean to be so rude but I'm just trying to understand.

You left his body and cold began to take over,

I felt so afraid and pain ran me over

A second look at him and he was no more,

No more talk, no more laugh, no more crazy pointless jokes

At one point we were laughing and all of a sudden it was just cry

He had so much hope for life, hope to do bigger things

But when you came you just shattered it all in a matter of a second.
