Heartbreak

Bali Singh 1961 (Stockton on Tees)



You broke our hearts the day you left…

You were an innocent soul taken far too young
The pain was etched so deep, yet you soldiered on
You weren’t to know the path your life would take…
Why couldn’t we see, what you couldn’t say?
Why couldn’t we keep you safe?

You broke our hearts the day you left…

Your smile could light up the room
But there’s only darkness now…

You broke our hearts the day you left…

Your silence spoke volumes
Leaving us questioning what did we miss?
We should have kept you safe, but we failed.

You broke our hearts the day you left…

You existed at most;tolerated the life you were served
Why couldn’t we see the pain?

You broke our hearts the day you left…

Now you’re finally at peace, you can rest at last.  We will mourn your loss for days to come.
Rest in peace, until we cross paths again

You broke our hearts the day you left…
