Never Ending Circle

She gets a call
In the dark of night
Answered with dread
Something's not right

She stop in her tracks
With horrible news
Shaking her head
Wants to refuse

She picks up her friend
and rushes downtown
Hearts full of fear
The worst to be found

She can't see the ground
She can't walk ahead
For entering the room
She knows he is dead

And in months that follow
Her mind flashes back
To that hospital room
Where fears become fact

The questions arise
Why? she screams why!
Did that young man
Have to suffer and die.


Part II

The next call comes
Received with delight
Glad to be awoken
In the middle of the night

Head hits the pillow
Breathes out a sigh
A smile turns her lips
Only she knows why

She tiptoes in
And arrives at the place
Where death and new life
Mix and embrace

As she walks in
Smiles greet her face
Her feelings reversed
About this small space
