Vahannus

A man with no face No history to find Deleted the world Lost in the life of his mind Had everything at his finger tips But his silence cut off his hands Leaving the one who loved Buried in the desert sands Thirsty for his attention One granule for every thought She filled her mouth with dirt Until she could move not She begged and pleaded Got nothing in return Tears could not put out the fire A heart, once again, burned He took away the memories The family that was dear Silenced the one who loved him Love lost to fear? Live and let live That's what they say He killed a part of the soul Each and every day She heard a faint voice A little girl stood by her side "Mum, I love you" She then began to cry "Don't give up I need you too much Carry me to the land of love Teach me and such I am scared to live Please show me the way I will not silence My love is here to stay" Mud came spewing out Her lungs filled with air She hugged the little girl And they walked into a world so unfair You cannot teach someone to love Remember the children When something goes wrong They are the innocent
