I Wish Your Death Was Just a Dream

I wish that your death turned out to only be a bad dream. Your demise makes me feel like I'm coming apart at the seams. I wish that I would wake up and realize that it was only a nightmare. But you really are gone forever and it proves that my life is unfair. If I could wake up, I would be so pleased and it would be great. Your death hurts so bad that at times I can't even think straight. I've heard other people say how bad their loved ones deaths hurt them. But a man doesn't know how bad it really is until it happens to him. The Lord decided to call you home even though I asked him not to. I wish your death was just a dream because I would still have you. [Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
