To the earth, death is life's tool
But not to a mother, sister or nephew
You think you're strong
When not shedding a tear
You're really hurting your heart
As your loved ones despair
They can see your agony
They share in your pain
They wait for your melt-down
As their hearts feel a pang
Let it all out and feel the pain
Do not let your feelings distain
It'll hurt, but only for a while
Soon you'll feel
You're heart is no longer on trial
