It Hurts

by Jes Miller   Jun 11, 2008


As we live life,
We come to met certain people,
People like our family,
The ones that held us when we were born,
Watched us grow,
Day in and day out,
To who we have become today,

And when we lose a family member,
It hits the heart pretty deep,
And it feels like a ton of weights has just been dropped on our shoulders,
Taking whatever breath we try to breathe in,
The clock keep ticking,
But our lives stand at a stand still,
It hurts,
It truly does,
And what hurts the most,
Is knowing that they are not coming back,

As continue to grow,
We met people in life,
People we know as friends,
Friends that we can count on and trust,
And know each waking day,
That they truly are our friends,
Simply just by them still standing by our side when we are at out worst,

Yet each waking day,
We wonder,
We wonder if we will see their face,
And when we get a phone call in the early hours of the morning,
Our eyes begin to shed tears,
Hitting our skin like bullets,
Just how it must of felt when the call rolled five times,
With glass hitting their skin,
It hurts,
Knowing that our only true friend,
Has left this world,
And for us to walk in it alone,

And as the sun rises and falls,
Our hearts reach out,
It reaches out to a stranger,
That it seems our hearts cant stop racing for,
Cant stop racing for the one who completes us,
For making us smile our brightest smiles,
Or maybe,
Just simply,
For the one we were meant to be with,

But since this world is so unpredictable,
We have to live each day like its our last,
For love is a strong emotion that is rare to find,
So strong that once it is lost,
It seems that half our heart left with the person,
But when we have that ring on our finger,
It is not just love,
It is a lifetime of love,

But when we get that knock on the door,
And hearing that their heart died fighting for our country,
It hurts,
Knowing that the only person we have ever truly loved is gone,
All the plans they once had,
Has now disappeared,
For the only thing they have left to look forward too is their dreams,
Knowing that there is where they will see their love again,
And in the face of our children,

As we live life,
We must know one thing,
That at some point,
Our lives will end,

And the ones we leave behind,
Will shed tears,
And wish things they normally wouldnt wish,
For the feeling of someone we love,
Just doesnt go away over night,

It will take time,
But we never have to go through it alone,
For there are people out there,
Who wish to help the sorrow go away,
People out there,
Who care about us,
And would do anything,
Just to see a smile creep upon our face.
