life and death

mandi cope 1980 (union town pa)



life and death
life can never be taken for granted
one minute two hours two yrs 10 years
they can be dead

life is not a given
who says

im goin to wake up
im goin  to take my next breath
im goin to live another day

one moment
im  here
u are here
and everything is great
but that can change

in a second
in 2 hrs
in yrs
in  heartbeats

what willl your last words be
what will his
or hers

my boyfriend
was
i feel good

i can relive those hrs
i can relive those days
i can relive those minutes\
i can relive everythin
the yrs

nothin changes
descions cant be changed
choices can't be done differently

time never changes
nothing does

acceptence
grief
deniel
acceptence

desperation to change
things  that cant be changed

one moment
one second
two hrs
four yrs
5 years

time doesnt stand still

cant unwind time
cant go back or forwrd
or fast forward
o skip\

one day at a time
whatever happens will happen

whatever it takes

im alive
thankful and still sorry

like why me
why not them

why was i chosen to live
why were they chosen to die

is there a god
is there a heavon
is there life after death
is there ghosts
or hauntings

my bf believed
once u died
that was it

i believe in  god
i believe there is life after death
i believe in souls
and destiny

everythin happens for a reason


EVEN DEATH

life and death
