Death of a loved one,
A cold hard feeling that overpowers your thoughts.
Everyone's faced it, everyone's hated it.
It aches your heart real bad.
It hurts as if a knife just got stabbed into your chest,only worse.
Days of solemness,nights of silence.
Lips trembling, hands shaking,heart beating slower,slower and slower.
Your chest drops,it feels as if there is a massive weight on your shoulders.
Fear takes over.
Who's next?
My mum, my uncle ,my dad?
This thought frightens me.
I've lost one and now more?
I'm only young, I can't handle all of this.
I've realized something today.
Something I've never realized before.
Love hurts.Hurts REAL BAD.
Love them until they're gone.
When they're gone,
you'll love them even more.
