I watched you walking out the door
as you had done many times before
you said “I love you, be back by four”
you were to return nevermore

The angels had a plan that day
it had been decided you could no longer stay
they came and they carried you away
leaving behind a life now in dismay

Confused and unsure of just what to do
having lost that love of a lifetime true
retreating into a cave of shadows and hues
uncaring for the world for there was no longer you

Cursing a God that snuffed your light
that once had a fire unequalled and bright
never before having felt something so right
in a moment my world was plunged into night

Now when I look to the sunlit sky
no longer do I find the urge to cry
yet I will always wonder why
just when things were so right…………you had to die
