Why did you have to go?

Why did you have to go as soon as you did? Why did you have to go and leave a hole in my heart when you went away?, Why can I never ask you for advice again? Why can we never do the crossword again? I was so upset when you died, I still went into school though, just to get my mind off the pain that I felt, I know you would’ve been proud of me, My teacher talked to my dad, Said I was quieter than normal, But I think maybe I was trying to be strong, for you, Maybe I was trying to be strong I still sort of remember the funeral, We were all in black obviously, but at the same time, we were trying to make it a happy occasion, A celebration, Remembering the life, he lived and the fame and experiences you had, All I wonder is? All I wonder is? All I wonder is what life would be like now, if you were still here

This one hits deep. The repetition of “Why” gives it such a raw, personal feel… like you’re working through the questions and grief in real time. Bravo!
