Loss

To all who may never know Let me try to show The deep and heavy cost Of having tragic loss Confusion and disbelief Strikes hard before the grief Many wounds cut deep And pain denies you sleep Gut wrenching turmoil deep inside Shattering sorrow you cannot hide Heart pounding blood into your head Wishing now, you too were dead Clutching at your belly For the one you loved so dearly Crumbling from the pain You'll never be the same When that fateful message comes Burning like a thousand suns And tears of dread, sting your face Joy makes way, for sorrow, takes it's place The tears will go one day This is what they say While every day you're trying To keep yourself from crying Those memories together were made These memories they will not fade And reopen the cuts of wounds so deep These bloodied treasures that you keep No potion can ever mend No dressing can ever tend As days and months have gone away This festering rage is here to stay Till the time is come again That tragic day is like a stain That time will never be gone Where their spirit last shone The moment it draws near As you fight back the tear This pain you cannot bear For it has been one year As you sit back and swallow the drink And feel your life begin to sink And darkness comes around The room no longer makes a sound You sit in place and stare No more their love to share You pray the silence take me From visions I do not wish to see Ten years on today It's still not gone away This deep and heavy cost This truly tragic loss
