What Life Stole from me
- - FGP
Life never shows you the secret of tomorrow
Too sudden does it dawn on me that I could
Lose those dear to me the next day
Would that I could time-travel
I would go into future and change its setting
But do I have the magic wand?
I am afraid not
I am just a poor boy whom life never tires to steal from.
What steals from me and render me speechless
I chose to write out my pain since my voice is gone
I was thinking of you when news of your death filtered into my ears
I beg to think it was a dream but reality stood naked before my very eyes!
Your departure broke an already fragile heart
Which is already too frail to know more grief.
I still find it disbelieving that you left with a goodbye
Even if for a second, perhaps I could have held the memory
Of that one single second with me forever.
Life has broken my heart in pieces
Sorrow and pain envelop my heart
I doubt if I shall ever stop feeling this pain
For I cannot stop thinking about you
It still hurts that I was not by your side
At a time when you needed me the most
Perhaps I was selfish, and now that life stole you from me
I regret the moments that we could have had
Which never came to be.
I feel pained by your demise
But who am I to question the Divine one?
Who I am but another mortal
Who would sooner or later eat the food of death?
Hence, au revoir friend!
We shall meet again in eternity!
Dedicated to a dear friend who left to join the Lord on February 28, 2018.
