Hope dies enteral, burns to dust. You put your faith in someone you could never trust. Despair is your company, fears your only friend. Nobody gets too close they hurt you in the end. You should feel safe and warm when you’re at home. Not this crippling cold when you’re left on your own. Safety is something that isn’t real. Happiness is something only other people feel. The trauma, the tragedy of the life you lived. Never stopped you with all the love you had to give. The trauma the tragedy of the way you died. We didn’t get to say goodbye. When you had nothing, you gave it all. When you hit the bottom, you wouldn’t let any of us fall. You gave us strength no matter how much it hurt. Making sure we understood the lesson you had learnt. In the end, you could not stay. And with your life, you were forced to pay. In the end, you had to leave. Leaving us here to miss you and grieve. The trauma, the tragedy of the life you lived. Never stopped you with all the love you had to give. The trauma the tragedy of the way you died. We didn’t get to say goodbye. Your strength and beauty are so pure. We know your love for us will always endure. You know our love for you will never end. We’re going to miss you our beautiful friend. I don’t believe death is the end. And I know that we will meet again. We’ll stand together you and I. And maybe then you can tell me why. The trauma, the tragedy of the life you lived. Never stopped you with the love you had to give. The trauma the tragedy of the way you died. I wish we could have said goodbye. I wish we could have said goodbye. I wish we could have said goodbye. Oh, how I wish we could’ve said goodbye.
