Souls

Family is all but gone
A sad lost song
Mothers brothers sisters
Friends all gone
Here I am alone
Looking for a link
The more alone 
The deeper I sink
And why I ask 
For me
What did I do 
To suffer such loss
I fear a curse against 
My blood
Has sunk my 
Family ties
No one to protect 
Or be more wise
Good by my dead 
Souls and family
I wish it wasn’t so
But when a soul 
Is called it must surely go

Nowadays I take issue with the notion that "they are in a better place" but the reality is, you don't see them talk to them hug them argue and fight with them. They are gone. The inevitability of it is just hard to deal with. Deat is a cruel reality. Sorry about your losses
