Last Days

Seeing the waters drip from the windows of the souls present made me sad
Eyes filled with rage, pain and sorrow at the same time
Most souls present so mad
Some withholding, others letting it all out
I saw it all, some just movements
felt like mime
Others, just blindly walking about
Pain, pain as a result of our dear friend who has fallen into a sleep without upstanding
A dear friend we once had, his end so mesmerizing it surpasses our understanding
The sounds we used to hear were happy ones
Now all we can say is, we used to be happy once
A brother, a friend, a captain and a loving dad
Now you have left us, even your young lad
Just the mere thought of you in a casket is a thorn in my flesh
Death, the bully, has taken you away in a thresh
Your last days with us I admit were not so comforting
But I hope, I sincerely hope that you'll rest in peace everlasting
Seeing you in so much pain hurt me to the core
But now you are in peace, your absence hurts me even more
So strong that even through the pain, you put smiles on our face last we saw you
Now that you are gone, what are we going to do
Lay still, lay in peace for no matter how envious we are of the other realm which took you from us, we can't have you back now
Again I say lay in peace, for we shall meet again, one day and till then
Lay in peace
