Death and destruction

It hurts when it's someone you know,
When they suddenly just leave,
You become so mad you just say no.
It can't be true they couldn't they wouldn't,
It destructs you from the inside out,
You just want to run and hide ,
You feel like every tear you shed makes it worse,
You'll just bottle it up and one day you just...
EXPLODE in front of everyone,
So why is it so hard?
Why do you feel alone when everyone has to deal with it?
Destruction of Life it becomes.
