In almost silence

I sit here in almost silence,
Listening as the rain falls.
I can't help but think to myself,
Is this pain worth it at all?
The seconds pass by
As if they were days.
My eyes are so blurry,
My mind is in a haze.
With each tear that falls,
I wonder whats coming next.
Is it worth sticking around for?
Each moment that passes I just guess.
Not to long ago
It was just a few weeks
Something amazing was taken from me,
God wanted her to keep.
He took away a best friend,
A daughter a niece and more.
She was indescribable,
She was so many words and more.
She had a laugh that Eco's in my head,
She always had the brightest smile,
No matter what was said.
She had her own little way
of making a dark day seem bright
now our loving angel
had to follow this mysterious light
oh, what i would give
just to see her once more
to hear her loudness Eco
before she'd run through the door
there are so many memories
left in our hearts
but you can't help but sadden
when you think of memories that can't start
i find myself asking
this question over again
why did it have to be her?'
why my best friend?'
If i could go back in time
and re-live that day
I'd do anything in my power,
this shouldn't have been her price to pay
now there's this girl
who doesn't have a whats next?'
now we have an angel
that has no choice but to rest
i just can't understand,
Can't believe this is true
How can an innocent life
be taken, when it's practically new.
She was only 17
with her birthday not far away
she'll never have another time,
to love, laugh, learn or play
but if there's one thing
that shes taught me
its to keep your head up
and to follow your dreams
