Dark

In my hour of need Sadly, you’re not there Alone, I reached out for you But you weren’t there And in this darkest hour Where Death is a step away His touch so warm So welcome, until the sun, it rose But where were you when I was lonely? And where were you when I needed you? And where were you when I realized You’re the only light in my life? Maybe you’ll never know How scared I am Of being left Back in the dark Maybe things would be better If I was different Don’t try to comfort me Because you know me And you know I’m right But why are you forsaking me? And why tear away? Now, as I die for you May your skin crawl as I breathe your name And through these weeks My dread multiplied And you made the wounds worse Come to me Hold me close My love Tell me, what have I done to you?! Now I walk I walk alone to a place I know It’s a wondrous little place But it’s far, far away Everlasting life and peace In my perfect world Inside your embrace A place I know only exists in my dreams Life has a way of ending when It all seems to be going so perfectly I hear Death calling my name And the longer you continue this The less I feel resistance to join him in his world Pain! Shame! Drain, Me of my inner peace And I know it’s wrong (But you don’t care anyway) I know the legacy of you and I And I know what this signifies And I hope this all will pass And the sun will rise again.
