I’m tired of people dying
Of all the loss in this world
She was lost years ago
To the cancer in her body
Her ashes spread in the sea
Resting where she loved
I’m tired of people dying
Of all the loss in this world
She was lost way too young
The water too deep for her
Stuffed animals on the alter
Two years wasn’t enough
I’m tired of people dying
Of all the loss in this world
He was lost last week
When he fell too far
Only eighteen years
Sister said “see you soon”
I’m tired of people dying
Of all the loss in this world
She was lost long ago
Her heart beat blocked
A daughter, a sister, a niece
Just SMiLe, you’ll be okay
I’m tired of people dying
Of all the loss in this world
She was lost years ago
To the cancer in her body
Her ashes spread in the sea
Resting where she loved
I’m tired of people dying
Of all the loss in this world
She was lost way too young
The water too deep for her
Stuffed animals on the alter
Two years wasn’t enough
I’m tired of people dying
Of all the loss in this world
He was lost last week
When he fell too far
Only eighteen years
Sister said “see you soon”
I’m tired of people dying
Of all the loss in this world
She was lost long ago
Her heart beat blocked
A daughter, a sister, a niece
Just SMiLe, you’ll be okay
I’m tired of people dying
On October 11th, 2019 a boy I graduated with passed away. At his funeral his twin sister said “This isn’t goodbye. This is see you soon. I love you. I’ll see you soon.”
