No more breaths, nor kisses nor
hugs only tears for all that we're
missing forced to say goodbye
left feeling cold and empty
inside longing for the tomorrow
that never came praying that
God will take away the
unbearable pain left longing for
the rain hoping once it cleanse
the Earth this pain in my chest
won't run so deep and my heart
will once again began to beat
because right now I'm just going
through the days, trapped in a
daze praying for better days
Tear ducts swollen from the
continuous cry trying not ask
God why it seems we're all born
to die Asking you to hear my
soul cry as I say my last
Goodbye! I love you forever
-Retta
