gone

dying and crying
grief and disbelief
sadness and pointless
is it?

a little girl is sobbing
at her grandmother's grave
how does one explain
the heart-wrenching pain

where has she gone
why are we left still
mysteries of the unknown
not a glimpse, we are on loan

struggling, grasping
just not understanding
failing miserably
holding back tears, just can't see

the little girl is wailing
she can't comprehend
heaven do you hear her?
angels please! ease the fragile dear

all feel the weight even more
when innocence is burnt
all feel the hell and anguish
Creator! its selfish

madness, senseless
the life so alive
a blink
she's gone
