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
