I SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING
They said you had cancer.
I couldn't believe it was true.
A man that is never sick,
A man that believes that vitamins can cure everything.
As the days past,
You became thin and frail.
The strong man I always knew you to be
Had almost changed overnight.
You had always said in the past,
before you had to depend on others for your care,
"I'll put a gun to my head before that happens to me".
I had heard you say a million times
I remember your words now,
They keep running through my head.
Why didn't I do something?
I wish I could go back in time,
I would have found your guns
And hid them away.
I would have told you how much I loved you
Some say that you are "better off"
You didn't have to suffer more pain.
But what about all of us?
We will live the rest of our lives,
Wondering what we could have done....

Why?
