'Reflections'

Another day for you to wonder, another day to mourn
It wasn't my intention, to go before the dawn
My pain was deep within my chest, my body was all broken
It wasn't my intention, to go without words spoken.
My frame of mind seemed normal, or so I heard them say
It wasn't my intention, not to see another day
I did not mean to make you suffer or cause you so much pain
It wasn't my intention, to never see you all again.
Pain and desperation left my tired mind unsure
It wasn’t my intention, to suddenly close life's door
If I only could explain, and brush the tears away
It wasn’t my intention, to leave and not to stay.
I struggled for every single breath, I had to try and take
It wasn't my intention, your hearts, for me to break
I loved you all so very much, you'll never know how deep
It wasn't my intention to make you lose such sleep.
My days were getting harder, my body was resisting
It wasn't my intention, but I merely was existing
Every hour of every day I couldn't bear the load
It wasn't my intention, it was the end of the road.
I did not mean for you to grieve, now left alone to cry
It wasn’t my intention, for you forever to ask 'why?'
As the burdens of my illness, slowly ebb from my heart
It wasn’t my intention to tear your soul apart.
I never hurt you purposely, please listen to my voice
It wasn't my intention but I felt I had no choice
Until the end I didn't know the how or the when
It wasn't my intention but I'll see you all again...
