I can't hide this pain
It's washing me away
My life changed
When her life started to fade

Heart stops beating
Silence is growing
My mind is circling
This world is torturing

Stomach is churning
Body is burning
This pain I'm feeling
A bitter sweet relief

I can't hide this pain
It's washing me away
My life changed
When her life started to fade

My soul is crying for peace
This pain I'm feeling
A bitter sweet relief
This is about my cousin's daughter Kelaiah.  My cousin was one of the largest influences in my life and I love him like a brother.  A month after being born Kelaiah passed away due to a hole in her heart, and it was emotionally hard.  I tried to write this in my cousin's perspective about how I thought he had to have been feeling, but as I kept writing I realized it's how we were all feeling.  We are a family.  One of the people I love most in this world's daughter died after barely getting to know her, and on top of everything seeing how much it hurt him hurt me.  I don't know if this is any good, but I really like it, because it was how I was feeling and still continue to feel.
