Looked To the Sky

Darkened by a haunted past. 

Escape what lies so deep within.

The torment of what has been done.

My life on earth the biggest sin.

 

I laugh out loud under the rain

and look up to the sky.

Screaming out the past inside.

What are the reasons why?

 

Explain the love that isnt real.

Explain what has been took.

Explain why life is set for me

like chapters in a book?

 

As tears begin to fall silently

the thunder hides my cries.

Tonight I let go something fierce

as I looked up to the skies.
