Never Came Back

My eyes burn.
The sun shines bright
And the moon glows 
  but not for me.
You never came back.

Let the rain
  wash over me.
Turn off the sun.
Turn the sky black.
You never came back.

Death has claimed you
  and my life too.
So let it rain and thunder.
Let the lightening crack.
You never came back.

You were finally free to be with me
Until fate stepped in and dealt its blow,
And now I know
You'll never come back,
Never ever, ever come back.
