My life had ended suddenly,
Without the answer to why,
Why did you have to take my life,
Why did I have to die,
Nobody could explain it,
This mystery they could not crack,
The night that man had killed me,
The night of my attack,
A steady gun in hand,
His eyes just glazed with hate,
An ended life to soon,
A call for help too late,
That night as I lay bleeding,
I heard the screams of pain,
As my family shook with fear,
This man who shot to blame,
They rushed me off to save me,
But what they did not know,
Was that I died on the way over,
For to the head I took this blow,
I never could've made it,
My heart no longer beat,
My death announced soon after,
Layed over me a sheet,
My life was taken from me,
I'm still not quite sure why,
Why did it have to be this way,
Why did I have to die.
