Some - die even before they are dead

I don’t want to keep counting the years

since you took everything away

nothing is the same

none of it is better, my insides are astray

some can never be replaced

by anything or anyone

is it a good thing?

no company made me feel the same way with songs

we used to play at 2:00 am

I have fixed everything I could

I’m smiling and laughing

but there is no fun, there’s nothing funny

Some can never be replaced

by anything or anyone

maybe it’s not a good thing

but why do people leave us even when they are still alive?

there is no way to revive

I have tools but no volunteers

I can’t find any.

Do we need to ask?
