If I Say It, That Makes It Real

By RoseTheBrokenHearted

Were you sad?
Hurting and alone?
Why didn't you tell mom?
Why didn't you just go home?

Was there anything,
We could have done?
Mom is hurting,
She lost her eldest son.

Our brothers are struggling,
They're not sure how to cope.
Why did you go?
Now, we're all losing hope.

You were the happiest person,
Anyone's ever known.
No one had a clue,
We missed every sign you've ever shown.

If I say that you're gone,
That would make it real.
And that's a pain,
I don't want to feel.

Can't you come back,
With the November rain?
Take me back,
and remove all the pain.

Come back to us,
We all need you.
Please come back,
And tell us it was never true.

suddenly you've extracted from me such heavy emotion I'm not to familiar with... saying that this piece transfixed me into your method of coping.. this was composed very well..you are the artist painting the sun where everyone was clouded..crowded..I could never devise the effect of a lost one..tried playing it in my mind in a troubling time.. I see you are a good hearted person ..I imagine this task with difficulty but Im unsure.. it hit a dark place within and I only hope we continue to accept were not perfect.. I say great punctuation made it enjoyably smooth reading...each line is worth its capturing utterance... thanks for the braveness,i hope for the best
