 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Death Sneaks When You're Unaware!


It sneaks up on you when you aren't looking!
Taking the air that you breathe,
Hurting hearts, broken people,
Why oh why, did she have to leave?
I'm sitting in the warmth of the fire glow,
As cold as ice inside,
A gaping wound of pain within,
 I can't run, and I can't hide!

Takes a life so good and true!
Death sneaks when you're unaware,
The cold chill around the heart;
Leave you bereft, it isn't fair!
Stood in the cold and barren place,
Hearts torn and shattered…
Death took her, like a candle snuffed out,
Like her life never even mattered!

Eyes full of tears, sorrow and pain,
Hating it, knowing it to be true,
The bleak vastness you feel inside,
You don't know what the hell to do!
The earth all cold and dark,
Her final place of rest,
Why oh why do they have to die,
Oh yes, he certainly took the best!

Memories flood the mind…
The heart's so full of pain,
Not wanting her to be dead,
But more, to be here once again!
Cold inside, so cold am I…
As I look to the ground below,
Crying inside, dying inside,
And hating the world because she had to go!

Memories, memories fill my mind,
Of happy days spent with her,
The children playing together,
Now motherless, it isn't fair!!!
Cold, cold feelings within me true,
I lost my best friend that day,
Taken before she had lived,
What a terrible, tragic day.

Warmth memories now, of her,
And the life she had so good and true,
A million knives within my heart,
I still don't know what to do!

Because Death Sneaks When You're Unaware…
