Why

I watched you slowly slip away How can I live in a world without you I almost died on that dreadful day Everyday I feel so sad and blue You were always one healthy guy Until one day you got very sick My love why did you have to die Everything happened so quick Just newlyweds, and I'm having a baby How can I raise this child without you? You made me feel like a special lady Until a stroke took you away, what I am to do? Alexis Y. 07-26-16 Author's note: This is pure fiction. It was inspired by the "Three Stanza Contest".
