Death Isnt the End

Death isn’t the end
It can’t be
It’s not that I feel you here
I wish that I could so badly
I look for signs that you’re near

Death isn’t the end
It can’t be
You’re on my mind constantly
I hear your voice
Your laugh
Your screech
I imagine exactly how you’d be

Death isn’t the end
It can’t be
You had so much more left to give
To a world too messed up to nurture you
You endured so much pain since a kid

Death isn’t the end 
It can’t be 
I wish I’d done so much more
Instead of flying home to your coffin side 
I wish I’d have knocked on your door 

Death isn’t the end 
It can’t be,
I wish you’d talked to me
I wish I’d written you a letter 
Instead of writing your eulogy 

Death isn’t the end 
It can’t be
I think of you every day

Your talent, your humour
Your sayings, your kindness
Your infectious laugh 
Your smile was the brightest

Our guardian angel up above
Death isn’t the end
It can’t be 
Forever is our love

I've really been enjoying your story your characters and storytelling are fantastic. Honestly, I think it would work incredibly well as a manga or webtoon and could help you reach an even bigger audience. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il: [email protected] inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
