They tell me nothing can be done, it's too late,
God has already sealed her fate.
I scream and tell them to wait,
but you're already at Heaven's gate.
I hold your hand and wait at your bedside,
with tears in my eyes and my tongue tied.
Eventually they whisper, 'She's no more, she's gone',
I stare blankly and tell them they're wrong.
Some then offer condolence hugs and sympathetic stares,
others show their comfort, extend their care.
I fake a smile, go and wait in your room,
for I know that you'll come home soon.
They come back again and tell me that you're gone,
I shake my head and tell them they're wrong.
It can't be true, you can't be dead,
they are just messing with my head.
I call your name out loud,
and search for your comforting face in the crowd.
This time, they shake me up and tell me you're gone,
I scream at them and tell them they're wrong.
I think of you, it making me smile,
for you've just gone for a walk, you'll be back in a while.
But it's getting late and I'm starting to worry,
Come home soon, please do hurry.
It's been two years and I know now you're never coming home,
how could you leave me in this world on my own?
Now they no longer tell me that you're gone,
for I finally accept that I was wrong.
Some try to help me through the pain,
But all their efforts go in vain.
For without you, I just feel out of place,
There's a void in my heart no one can replace.
I miss you more than words can say,
How am I supposed to make it even through a single day?
But in spite of everything, you're still here, I will not cry,
For I'll see you soon, it's never goodbye…
