Someone I love died and I don’t know if I’m going to be fine
I don’t understand what happened. Why can’t they still be mine?
They were right here, holding me, loving me, not very long ago
But now they’re gone? No where? No matter where I go?
When I can’t hear them, see them, touch them, it makes me very sad
So, I let myself cry, scream, stamp my feet, let out what feels bad
I do this when I need to and take deep breaths when I can’t
Because sometimes my friends and family don’t always understand
My pain comes and goes, a lot at first, but now it’s fading
Each time I let some out, there’s less inside me waiting
And when the pain has dried up, screamed its last woe
There will be space inside me, open now for them to show
They never really left me, they were right here all along
Living deep inside my memories, surviving in my love.
