Why did you surrender to Death?

Darling, why did you leave?
Why did you surrender to Death?
Why couldn't you stay?
Why did you take your Final Breath?
Why did it have to happen so soon?
Why did you have to die?
Why did you have to leave me alone?
Alone to cry?
Why did you have to pick that day?
Choose that knife?
Why did you want to end
Your own life?
Why couldn't you have stayed a little longer?
Why couldn't you have waited for me?
We could've been together,
Together and free.
But if you just hold on
For a day or two,
I promise, my darling,
I'll come and meet you...
