Death: The Other Side

Death how cruel and unkind you are
How cold and heartless you can be
Snatching from us
What is so beloved
Leaving our lives with an empty space
A vacuum that can never be filled

How could you be so cruel
Taking away so many
In the prime of their lives
Into an eternal sleep
Never to wake again
How do you live with yourself

Don’t you hear the wails and cries
Of those left behind
Left to pick the pieces of a broken live
That has been shattered to pieces
When you take away 
Their Reason to live
Their anchor, their support

How could you be so dead
How could you be so heartless
What did we do to deserve this sorrow
Why did you take them away from us

But then dear death
How misunderstood you are
Not truly understanding your true purpose
Yes we view as a monster
A skeleton lurking in the dark
A reaper with his weapon

But you don’t deserve 
All the curses and complaining 
It is we who are the selfish ones
For its our selfish thoughts
That we don’t truly understand 
The purpose of your actions

We just want 
What we think is right for us
Not thinking about the departed
What is right for them
For the pain they feel
Their suffering and agony
You set them free from the pain
From the bonds that holds them
Setting their souls free

We are so blinded to our pain
That we don’t see their suffering
We can’t see them in pain
But we continue to hope for a miracle
Doing all we can for them
Never truly understanding
That this hope however noble
Is actually cruel
Cause we continue to hold on
When what we should be doing
Is letting go
Bidding farewell, no matter how
Painful it may seem

Dear death we are truly sorry
Out tears have blurred our vision
Our sorrows has clouded our minds
We truly never understand your purpose
But sorrow takes over us
Cause loosing someone dear to us
Something we never want
And never wish upon anyone else

Till then we will try and cope with our pain
To do our best to return to a life
We know we need to live
And continue
