Deep, Dark, Death

Wilted rose petals drift towards the ground 
as water droplets slide off leaves small and round 
The sky is grey 
and it reminds me to pray. 
The thunder of my sob's roar  
and the raven and cardinals soar. 
The tree shutters 
making people mutter. 
Finally, 
 there is no sound  
All that is left is me and the mound. 
Why, oh why! 
I began to cry. 
Why was it the end of his life? 
I feel like my heart has been stabbed with a knife.
