Everything After a Nightmare

It was here Here where Everything fell apart Went to hell I am to blame A workhorse lamed I was awake Alone in it All the aftermath You were never coming home Not in a way that I could hug you And feel you hug me back It's a nightmare That became reality And I blame myself Because I was not there To take your place Because you had so much So much going for you Such a bright future You were far from perfect though But there is never a day where I don't regret still being alive As your birthday comes soon I ready myself to be the stone Everyone takes their emotions out on I am lost, hurting and alone My solace is elsewhere A field of flowers, dark and drying And a full moon casting down On a lone trail I am grateful you were my brother But I am still here, as always Feeling my way through Everything after the nightmare
