Why did you die?

Why did you die?

A Poem by Momo Shikiro
"

its a poem that is from the view point of a small child who has never encountered death before. here they have lost someone dear to them and doesn't realize what is happening until they bury them.

"

You must,
Just be sleeping,
Don’t know why,
They’re weeping,
It won’t take you long,
To awake.

You look so cold,
With your pale skin,
Your face is vacant,
Of its usual grin,
And when seen,
Their hearts start to break.

You said,
You’d always be here,
So why does everyone,
Look so sincere,
When they say,
You won’t come back.

I’m so confused,
When I look at you,
Dressed in black,
And subdue,
Any time I expect,
This masquerade to crack.

But as they start,
To lower you in,
I realize what they mean,
and I begin,
to cry.

why did you die?
