Why Die? Poem by Jan E Smith

Why Die?



Why did you have to die,
and leave me here behind?

I know I should not cry,
but your memories flood my mind.

I'm still searching for the key,
or the purpose for this life.

But answers I don't see?
Death cuts me like a knife.

Did you know I love you?
Or what you meant to me?

There's nothing I can do,
Life is as it will be.
