As I Grow Old
You lost your loved one to suicide one day
Now your friends seem to look the other way
They don't understand what you now feel
You just wish that this wasn't real
The trauma and heartbreak that tears you apart
Down to the soul and your know broken heart
The things we took for granted suddenly don't matter
Not even the gossip or peoples idle chatter
The questions abound deep in your head
What did I miss and why are they dead
Nothing makes sense as you wrack your mind
You weren't prepared for what you would find
Now that it has happened your mind is confused
Your heart now broken and severely bruised
You wonder how you will ever survive
Each day you awake you are still alive
Keep them alive with the memories in your heart
For that is where they will always be a part
Time will heal your wounds this I am told
You will remain in my heart as I grow old
Then one day when my time is through
We will meet again just me and you
