Such Tearful Words
Such tearful words said at my sister’s wake,
her short life, beyond my comprehension.
I try to stay strong for my daughter’s sake,
trepidation allures apprehension.........
Where’s the help for suicide prevention?
Her goodbye letter hit me really deep,
for now she lays in a permanent sleep.
If time moves this slow, how do I advance?
Her withered white roses I shall still keep,
I just wish she gave loves light one more chance.
If angels do weep, can I taste her tears?
Because I swear I can still hear her cry.
On her final day I could sense her fears,
why couldn’t she give tomorrow a try?
I knew deep down she was ready to die.
If leaving brought her joy I should feel ease,
but all I wish for is one more hug please…
Oh, why did her own life did she wish to take?
I hear her voice sometimes, it’s just a tease,
such tearful words said at my sister’s wake.
