Hurt

Three months ago, I had everything and didn't know it
I love you so deeply, why didn't I show it?
I took you for granted and you were taken away
I miss hearing your voice calling "Cuppa tay?"

I look at our last photo, taken on Christmas eve
I want to cry or feel something but I didn't have time to grieve
A month after you left us, our second loss came
One that tore up our hearts and heads once again

Your son was a good man, he was kind and gentle
He looked after himself - physical and mental
But despite the effort he put in for good health
He had to battle cancer, a cruel hand he was dealt

I'll never forget how he talked about you
Just weeks after you left us out of the blue
He wasn't scared of death, but he was afraid to leave
And cause his siblings, nephews and nieces such grief

We just wanted him to be healthy again
We would have done, said or given anything
But we're just floating with holes in our hearts
And two empty chairs, now we're lifetimes apart.
