Richard's Song

I know who i am not for what i've lost but 
for what I have gained no
weight lifted from my shoulders 
a twisted view without you a 
sick feeling fallen around me 
facing the gun one day I will to, 
my sea of lost souls
gained another a green eyed
man this man I based my life
on, picturing him laying in blood 
coming from a hole inflected by 
a hand of trust  
the lost love to never be felt
by me again tears starting 
from eyes of a confused son
and the pain just begins 
now I know who I am?
