The Letter Life Can Be So Unfair

You tug at my heart strings 
Your memory plays with my mind 
So many tears this brings 
Sorrow i thought would heel over time 

But time has come and gone 
My heart still feels the same 
With each passing dawn 
Your memory still remains

I forever wanted to hold you 
To never let you go 
But no one ever knew 
This would never be so

Holding on to your picture
Wished i kept that lock of hair 
So much sorrow i endure 
Oh how life is so unfair


Never did i know 
That hug would be the last 
It was the day you had to go 
Leaving only memories of are past


I sadly often speak of you 
I have the memories i can share
Always ending with who ever knew 
How life can be so unfair

I hear we all have a day 
That are life here must end 
Until than i will pray
For my heart to mend

Until that day comes for me 
Your memory in rhyme i share
Again it will be you and me 
Speaking on how life can be so unfair
