Analysis of My Soul keeper.



The darkness of night , the sky so black, and I yell dear Lord, please just give me her back, the love of my life, the keeper of My heart ,without her here ,I know not where to start. She's always been right there to hold me so near, to take care of my worries, and protect all my fears. She's the woman I love, the woman you chose. Why did she leave ? Only God knows. I asked myself each and everyday, how could she just go, and slowly walk away, so quietly and smooth, so soft with peace , as I stay here at home, begging down on my knees. I ask myself daily , God please why, why would you cause me pain and cause me to cry , you've given me all, except an answer to be, the answer I ask for why isn't she with me. I don't understand , why God would cause pain ,to any of his children that would cause them insane, but I ask myself , now why did she have to go, then I stop to myself all of a sudden I know, the answer to my question why'd she have to go ?
Because,  I hurt her.
