How Much Time?

Do you feel better now
After what you did?
How could you ?
You are gone and you took their innocence
How can we understand?
The ones you left behind?
They say it gets easier
Just give it some more time
Where did you come from?
What made you so mad?
How did you even get that gun
To execute your plan?
Why did you go crazy?
How did no one know?
What brought you to that place and time
To let those bullets go?
And now it’s over
No chance to say goodbye
We miss our loved ones
For them each day we cry
It’s difficult to let go
Our grief will never cease
They ‘re in no pain now
We pray they rest in peace
Do you feel better now
After what you did?
How could you?
You are gone
And you took their innocence
How can we understand
The ones you left behind?
They say it gets easier
Just give it some more time
How much more time?
Never got to say goodbye
I need more time
I want to say I love you
How much more time?
You were ripped away too quickly
I need more time
Time I wish you still had
How much more time?
We were supposed to have more time
Do you feel better now
After what you did?
How could you?
You are gone
And you took their innocence

How Much Time was written in response to a news story about another shooting in the States. It can be about any senseless act of violence, written from the point of view of someone in mourning over their loss. Again, a melancholy sound in my head when writing this one. So many questions left unanswered.
