No one prepares you for how much you cry
or the pain that you feel inside.
They never tell you how to cope or how to feel,
all they tell you is that the pain you feel is real.

To be told that you have to say goodbye,
thats enough hurt to last for a life time.
The nurse comes in stone faced and emotionless,
then hands you papers and says 'Here sign this'

Do you know how much it hurts inside
to wake your brothers in the middle of the night
just to tell them its time to say goodbye.
Those were the hardest words I have ever had to say
since that day I have never been the same.

You never know what to say or do,
until something like this happens to you,
The pain you see on their face or in their eyes
is a memory that lasts a lifetime.
