Why?

why did you have to die?!
i can't believe i didn't cry!
you, that padded coffin, i want it a lie!
i managed to bring myself to sigh.
at least i had that one day for goodbye.

Interesting write about death. A topic that most don't want to talk about or even think about. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara
