Grieving Heart
I always saw myself as a strong person but it was only a show and a lie.
I have never felt so powerless until there was no way to save your life.
The day came I got the message it was time to say goodbye.
I thought I was making the most of our moments and the rest of your life.
I made the mistake of thinking I had more time.
I tried so hard to make everything right.
You fought hard till the end to hang on to this life.
If love were only enough you would still be here with everyone.
But today death won.
God decided he needed you more.
Now you don’t feel pain anymore.
It’s a sadder world without you in it.
This hurts way more then I want to admit.
I tell everyone I’m fine and I try to be strong.
But it’s all a lie and I have to convince myself you’re really gone.
I thought I was unbreakable, strong, and nothing could ever touch me.
Until the day I watched you die and were taken from me.
Now all there is, is a numbness and a wall.
Have you ever hurt so much that you feel nothing at all?
