Final fight

You were so young
So full of life
How could we have known
You'd die in all the strife
When you launched for that final fight
Your life ended so soon
we never could understand
We had sent you to your doom
It happened so quickly
In the blink of an eye
And at that very second I blinked
And you died
I never thought
You would leave us behind
The only proof that it's true
Is that heartbreaking scene
Forever playing in my mind
