I'm screaming in my head and crying in my heart,
I'm ripping myself apart,
Sure my face seems to tell you "I'm alright",
But the truth is I cry myself to sleep at night,
And its all because I miss you so,
Oh why did you have to go?

I kneel here at your grave,
Crying, praying, watching, waiting,
For some kind of sign,
For some kind of signal,
That will tell me you're alright,
That will help me sleep tonight,
To put my heart at rest,
And my mind at peace,
To tell me,
Why you had to go.

As I lay here in my bed,
I can't seem to get this in my head,
The loss of you puts my heart in pain,
Without you life won't be the same,
I hug your Tigger tight,
As I start to cry I think,
"why did you have to go?"
This was written because I lost my aunt who was very close to my heart.  This goes out not only to my Aunt Tressa but to anyone ** has ever lost someone near and dear to the heart.
