Why I'm Asking Why.

Hello new world that I don't know.
So why'd you take him from me, I asked.
It's that same question over and over again.
I might not be able to understand now.

What your saying, but at least try to explain it.
I know I'm at fault, no one needs to tell me that.
The guilty feeling I have it already overwhelming.
I can't believe that he's gone, and when it's my fault.

When really it is, but isn't.
Yet, I understand why I feel so guilty, but
I can't seem to process what happened.
His family blames me, and I will say that's okay.

They need someone to place the blame on,
For their brother and son beginning dead.
If I hadn't tried to out shine him.
Would he still be alive, or would death find another way,

To take him out of this world, and maybe someone else as well.
Death doesn't stop until he has what he wants,
You can try to dodge everything he throws at you. but
In the end he will get you, and you won't be able to evaded him.

So I'm asking God and Death WHY!
Why my friend, and why am I feeling so guilty.
Even know I know why of the guilty, even though,
Its eating me alive from the inside out.

I just don't understand how someone so,
Brave, kind, nice, and so many more things.
Could be taken away just like that.
I just don't understand and that's why I'm asking why.
