I Wonder

When the darkness comes,

I wonder why.

I wonder why it ever had to happen.

As I lay here,

On the cold rough pavement,

I pray he has found peace.

As the darkness closes in,

I hear sirens.

I see flashes of red and blue lights,

That pierce the blanket of the night.

But I know they won't get here in time.

As my thoughts slip away,

And I fall asleep for the last time,

I wonder if he is finally happy now?

I hope so.

I really do.
