He Had to Go

Darkness falls as night arrives

The end of a life will soon arrive

No one can see his face

Wherever he goes he is out of place

Can we find him before he goes?

He’s needed by many far more than he knows

Is he a savior or is he a god?

Can he be more than anyone thought?

He thinks his life means nothing at all

Why can’t he hear us when we call?

Someone should stop him before he can go

So we can show him that love can grow

He doesn’t know how much we need

The love and hope that is his seed

He says this is it, there’s no more

That we will never understand the weight that he bore

He says we will understand in time

And that we will never be far from his mind

Can somebody stop him he doesn’t need to die?

He won’t even let us say good-bye

The women cry as the children sleep

He slips away without a peep

Why he died we’ll never know

We just know that he had to go

This was really powerful. I read it first top to bottom and i liked it. It flowed well and spoke of a strong and important story, that many can relate to.
Then i read it Bottom to top, and it told a very similar story, but I think the flow was even better!
I know i'm wierd. :)

Good write! :)
