I often wonder why ?
You slipped away so slow
It ate at your pores and poisoned your blood flow
Your skin became lifeless as your eyes would weep
I would try and hold you but you were much to weak
I seen your hair fall one strand at a time
Wishing I could change places and make this mine
I often wonder why ?
This had to happen to you
All the times you sat in that church pew
As others prayed for you to be healed
I can’t help but wonder why  
Your gone and I’m still here?
