My Whole World Is Gone

I have nightmares every night It's so hard to find the light In the darkness haunting me It will never set me free Years and years inside my head I can't shake the words you said Cutting me inside so deeply Every single night they keep me Awake--my eyes always open Why were many harsh words spoken Between you and I that night Causing such a deadly fright Couples can fight and debate But before it was too late WE would work it out together Even in stormiest weather But this time inside your eyes Was someone I didn't recognize As I tried to fix what's broken On my part--harsh words were spoken You cut me off in mid sentence As a ranting raving vengeance Came out of an angry face I couldn't find a single trace Of the one I love as you Found the strength to push right through The door where I tried to stand Reaching out to grab your hand I didn't want to let you go You pulled away turning to show The blank so very scary Then rushed off--I had a weary Feeling deep inside so strong You're gonna do something wrong Never answering your phone I searched everywhere you'd roam No text messages and mail I tried hard never to fail Our relationship at all Then one day I got the call They found your body full of drugs Lying on a motel rug Your world has ended--mine has too Now heaven has taken you Whatever made you lose the grip On life causing you to dip Into such bad turmoil Alone leaving you to fall Into a place so secret I couldn't help you out of it
