Death Took You Poem by Anushna Satapathy

We were happy, we were free
Two sole creatures, you and me.
But it didn't last all that long,
Why was it not meant to be?

You had an accident,
It was my fault.
Because I didn't run fast enough
to shout 'Stop! '.

I cursed and I cried.
It's not what i usually do.
But without my permission,
Death took you.

It was wrong,
Or so I think.
I went to the funeral,
I did my bit.

Your favorite flowers were there.
I said a prayer, I said it softly.
I wish you heard,
It was not your fault, It was mine wholly.

I cursed and I cried.
It's not what i usually do.
But without my permission,
Death took you.
