Darkness surrounding me
There's no
Light at the end of the tunnel
I can see
The world too heavy for my shoulders
No longer is
Hope flickering
Where I find
You are
I can't go on
Never will I say
I can be happy again
Because of you

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
