Her Suicide

I hear a knock on the window, yet there's no one there
 Knocking, steady knocking, and it gets so hard to bear
 And sometimes there is nothing, til I feel a gust of wind
 Ever subtle, ever slightly, but I know from deep within
 You are still here, even if it's only when I close my eyes
 You will join me in my dreams, even if I wake up to my cries
 And I hope against hope there's really a heaven for all 
 And I pray for the soul of the girl who did fall
 My own hurt is something that may never be filled
 Dying inside cause I miss you still
 If I could go back, I'd tell you the friend that you were
 The best of the best, now it's all a blur
 I can't help but think of what is our end
 Getting so hard to try and pretend 
 That you are still here, soon you will call
 And this is a bad dream that never happened at all 
 Though I know in my heart this could never be true
 I hope when I hear the knock on my window it's you
 Reaching out somehow from somewhere above
 Still remembering the friendship, the memories, the love
