All I can do is sit here and cry <br />Because, in a grave my daughter does lie <br />Now she'll be forever sixteen <br />Oh how life can be so mean <br /> <br />At sixteen, she took her last breath <br />A motorcycle ride, ending in her death <br />I hate myself, for letting her go <br />But she would have gone anyway, I know <br /> <br />A teenager way too young to die <br />Destroying her father, asking God why <br />Why did You, how could You take her from me <br />Now I'm as miserable as any man can be <br /> <br />I've always known life was unfair <br />And now my proof is standing there <br />A tombstone on it my daughter's name <br />Now nothing will ever be the same<br /><br />Harry J.
