Hereafter

Found you lying cold as the night
In one second you disappeared into the light
Did you know what was at stake
Here I sit greeting family at your wake
I forgive what you did of course I do
Things are material my life was you
On my knees praying and pleading
Please God stop my soul from bleeding

I can still hear your cries
I tried to take away your pain with laughter
I know everyone eventually dies 
But you went unnaturally to the hereafter

Your shadow fades 
The sun is black
Gone are the parades
There’s no coming back
I am lost between my soul and heart
Death is only the beginning it can’t keep us apart
I wish I could reverse the sands of time
To bring you back so once again you could be mine

I can still hear your cries
I tried to take away your pain with laughter
I know everyone eventually dies 
But you went unnaturally to the hereafter

Mourners come by to drop a rose
They do not know the ending you chose
Single file one by one 
They don’t know you had come undone
You had succomed to all your pain and fears 
I scream out loud but my eyes have no more tears

I can still hear your cries
I tried to take away your pain with laughter
I know everyone eventually dies 
But you went unnaturally to the hereafter

I throw some dirt on your coffin lid
I’m not a supporter of the deed you did
To cure the silence I’d give all my wealth
But I realize now I’m by myself
Our moment was over before it started
Now you walk with the faithfully departed

I can still hear your cries
I tried to take away your pain with laughter
I know everyone eventually dies 
But you went unnaturally to the hereafter

Thinking of you daily is part of my routine
I can’t wait to sleep so I can see you in a dream
Your spirit still keeps me in a spell
The memories forever in my mind will dwell
Until the day we meet by some twist of fate
Joined together again at Heavens gate
