You say to me "It's been a year,
when will your grieving end?
Why can't you be like you once were,
my smiling happy friend?"
If you really want an answer,
Though I wonder if you do,
I'll take you deep inside me,
where sadness dims the view.
First, "my friend" for your sake,
come close and take my hand,
And we will pray that what I share,
You won't have to understand.
The me you once knew is no more,
it died with my child.
A voice was silenced forever, yet,
the echo drives me wild.
