Click hereIt’s hard to believe your not here,
I turn around to speak words I meant to say,
And I remember that you went away,
It’s still so hard to believe that your not there.
If I could relive the day that I saw you,
I’d do it all differently knowing now,
That you wouldn’t be here,
No matter how much we might need you.
Grieving hearts cry around me,
As they try to come to grips with their loss,
It wasn’t supposed to be this way, he cries,
The weeping continues and yet,
The sun shines outside making our loss,
Seem so trivial.
As I place my rose on your coffin,
I apologize for everything I didn’t say,
Hoping someday that,
The pain will not be so unbearable.

LeBrozabout 17 years agoNice potential here. A couple points ~ watch the use of your; I'm sure you meant to use you're {you are} both times in that first stanza. A style point to consider; if you omit mention of the coffin and just set down the rose, the presence of the coffin is implied and the actions/feelings are then amplified.
