Trading Places

I look up to the sky..
in the wondering abyss.
I then look down to the ground..

as a single tear slides my face..
shortly after my knees hit the ground..
as my hands cover my face..
wanting to scream, yell.. why..
but yet no sounds come out..

feeling helpless and alone..
but I know that I am not..

it's just that this pain inside
won't seem to stop..as I look..
look at what god gave me..

so precious..so sweet..
so innocent..so angelic she is..

I look at god and ask..and plead
why does it have to be..
why does she have to leave me..
couldn't I take her place..

Not hearing any answers.. I look again..
this time the pain really sets in..
wishing now it was me who died..

I can't stop the tears flowing..
as each single tears drop..to the ground..
I feel my heart...slowly begin to break..

my feelings begin to go numb..
still wishing it was me
who should have been the one..

I may have not lived life the fullest..
but with her it would have been..
she is just a mere child..
a baby.. my youngest..

she may not be my only..
but who knows what she could have become..
