MY GRIEVING HEART

I AM LEFT ALONE IN THIS WORLD 
WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE,
AND A THOUSAND TIMES A DAY
I’VE ASKED MYSELF WHY.

WHY WERE YOU TAKEN
AWAY FROM ME,
LEAVING MY WORLD UPSIDE DOWN,
IN SUCH PAIN, AND MISERY.

I MAY SOUND SELFISH 
BY THE QUESTIONS I’VE ASKED,
BUT YOU WERE THE ONLY FRIEND 
I’VE EVER HAD.

LOOSING YOU,
ARE LIKE A STILLBORN CHILD,
BEFORE THE SOUND OF A SIGH,
THE CHILD DIES.

I NEVER IMAGINED 
MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU,
AND NOW THAT YOU ARE GONE,
ONLY GOD KNOWS, WHAT I WILL DO.

HOW I WISHED, THAT DEATH,
WOULD OF TAKEN ME INSTEAD OF YOU,
OR AT LEAST, RAPPED ITS ARMS 
AT THE SAME TIME, AROUND US TWO.

SO ALONE I’M LEFT, 
TO FACE THE WORLD WITH A BROKEN HEART,
AND A FRACTURED SOUL,
HOPING THAT ONE DAY, I’LL SEE YOUR FACE,
IN ANOTHER TIME, AND ANOTHER PLACE.

WILFORD BARKER.
