A few lines from "Why Didn't I Feel It?":

"Why didn't I feel it?

Your moment of distress

When you needed help the most

Before you were taken from this earth

How could time go blithely by?

With my heart and mind totally unaware

That my world was shattering

I'm devastated that you are gone

And I feel absolutely destroyed that I didn't sense it

That at the most critical moment

My heart and mind wasn't with you

That you died without me there

At least is spirit

I, who understood so many of your thoughts

And could usually anticipate your actions

Who knew you as well as anyone

Why didn't I feel it?

My grief is doubled..."
