Taken too soon

Tanya Sharman 1982 (Laconia NH)



If only I could stop crying
But really the tears still flow
If only I could get you out of my mind
But really the brain won’t stop
If only I could see you again in my live streams
But really there’s no one there to request “tin man”
If only you hadn’t been killed
But really your lives were cut short
If only the pain would end
But really it still hurts
If only I could stop feeling this way
But really you would want us to go on
If only the devils hadn’t taken you away
But really you have gained your wings
