My biggest loss
we didn't have closure we didn't say goodbye
it was painful for me to see you die
I screamed I wished it was a lie
but it's the ugly truth that hunts me every time
to help myself heal I write words that rhythm
I saw him coming closer to doing his crime
I tried to warn you I called your number
you were busy collecting your clothes and couldn't answer
my heartbeats were rising
toward the door, he was pacing
I knocked on the door
they kept it closed
I saw you knocked on the floor
my heart sinks
in sadness my eyes dunked
I called the cops
they put him in handcuffs
you were covered in blood
I was speechless and couldn't say a word
we took you to the hospital
you survived they said it was a miracle
I hugged you and kissed you baby it was magical
they advised you to stay overnight
but you left no matter how much we tried
to tell you it's a bad choice to go home
but it was useless and I couldn't stay calm
I got mad at you we argued I admit
I know it wasn't the best
I regret the things I had said
before you left
you called me a hero you said I saved you
then why do I feel like I ended you
we were happy he is in jail
it was a life sentence and no bail
thought that mean we live happily ever after
only for all this to turn into a disaster
I am an atheist so prayers get no answer
and I got a call you died
it was at midnight
after we had a fight
you were brain dead
that was the worst pain I felt
I don't know how worse this can get
they said life gets better
but it gets bitter
pain, regrets, heart shatter
forgive me Hannah you are the only one that matter
