grief

waiting for an answer
lost in darkness
trying to understand

i ask the question
we all have in our hearts
why do we die

losing my soul
i wait for enlightenment
and always ask why

the pain inside cuts deep
no one can rescue me
life ends alone

crying in the darkness
of pain and loss
and still i ask why

no fair my heart cries out
what god could leave us with this
and i will always ask why

why do i have to grieve
why do we have to die
