Gone Too Soon

Heart heavy, words stick in my throat,

Grief so thick, feels like I’m wearin' a coat.

Nights cold, moonlight cuttin’ through the blinds,

Your voice echoes, still loopin' in my mind.

Hospital halls hummin’, machines beepin’ slow,

Clock hands judgin’, time movin' too low.

You fought like a lion, roared through the pain,

Now I’m left with this storm, drownin’ in rain.

Gone too soon, and the world feels wrong,

Empty chair at the table where you belong.

Tried to stay strong, but I crumble at noon,

Miss you, Momma, you’re my sun, my tune.

Taught me to hustle, taught me to dream,

Taught me that life’s more than what it seems.

Now I’m chasin' shadows, fightin’ through the haze,

Every breath a tribute, every step a praise.

Cigarette smoke memories, kitchen laugh tracks,

Photos on the fridge, time never gives back.

They say heaven gained an angel, but it’s hard to agree,

When earth feels colder, like it’s missin’ a piece of me.

Tell me, how do I heal, how do I cope?

Searchin’ for your wisdom, hangin’ onto hope.

Every star in the sky, wonderin' if it's you,

Whisperin’ to me, "Baby, keep pushin' through."
