Life
So what?
You tried
You prayed
You wanted
And yet
You still lost
It all
Everything you loved
Wanted, needed, had
Gone
In one moment
In one breath
Destroyed
Why did you try?
To build a life
To be happy
To find love
When you
Would only lose
It all
But what if
You could have
Had it all?
You would
Have been loved.
Wanted.
Needed.
You would
Have been happy.
So try
Pray
Want
Find love
And live.
