"Night Poem- The Father's Death" and "Death"

This is the first poem I ever wrote. I was a junior in high school and shortly before the poem was assigned, a friend died in a car accident. I wrote the first poem in memory of him. This was actually an assignment related to a book, and I don't remember which one. The second poem was written because I thought I had lost the original and tried to rewrite it. I will label each one.

Night Poem- The Father's Death

Why, oh why,
did you have to die?
I miss you and I cry
when I think about how you died.

Tell me, tell me did
death hurt? I am just a kid
and I miss you and I hid
when I think about how you died.

Please, please let me know
how you know when the snow
comes and you die? My nose I blow
when I think about how you died.

Why, oh why,
did you have to die?
I miss you and I cry
when I think about how you died.

Death

O my friend,
o my lost friend,
Why o why did you have to die

Why do you leave us
in pain, in sorrow,
why did the sunlight get ripped from our lives?

Why must you go?
Why can't you stay?
Why tell me why?

You were the best
kind, gentle, always there
You were light
You were joy

O my friend,
o my lost friend
why o why did you have to die?
