Shame on death!

With a heavy heart I type

What I’m typing, I don’t really know actually

I see your pictures all over Fb, IG, Whatsapp and BBM

I see all the ‘RIPs’

I see all the ‘we’ll miss you’

And I’m hoping someone will wake me up from this nightmare

And tell me it was just a bad dream

And all is still well

I remember you being wheeled around in the mortuary

And I broke down in tears

Because I couldn’t believe that was really the end

I pass by the cemetery

And memories of how you were lowered into the ground right in front of us flood in

I dial your number sometimes

Hoping I’ll hear your voice at the other end of the line

I wish my phone could ring and I’ll see your name on it

I wish I could wake up to the sweetest message from you

I wish I’ll hear a knock on our door

And see you at the door when I open it

I wish all the beautiful memories could be kept alive

Alive forever

Wondering what’s going to happen to all the passion

The businesses

The dreams

The hopes

The youthfulness

The life

The love

How can forever turn out to be this short?

How do good people just disappear?

How can death be so cruel?

How can someone so full of life become lifeless

Well, I hope you are having a good rest

Send my love to daddy

Tell him I still remember him everyday

Tell him we all miss him

Tell him mummy has been strong

Everybody has been

But now, I don’t know how strong I can get

I don’t know if I have any strength left

But I have to be strong right?

I have to be fine

Yeah, that’s what they say

That’s what everybody wants to see and hear

Help me tell God I think I’m losing it

Tell him to help me to keep on loving him

To keep on moving

To keep on believing

The owner has once again taken one of my dearest people

But what can I do

But believe he knows the best still?

Keep having a good rest till we see again

You’re free from struggles

Free from this cruel world

I won’t say RIP

No, I won’t

How I hate to say this

Sleep, sleep on…
