River of Darkness

River Of Darkness There is a river of darkness in my heart And the pain runs through it like a dart There is no release from the rain No way to drown all the pain Inside my mind I still can see My life that’s gone before me There’s no way to get it back No way to lighten all the black Inside this cave I feel so cold No longer able to stand so bold Cause when you left I fall apart Destroying my soul and my heart Though the choice was not your own God decided to call you home Though I begged for you to stay God knew your body was in decay Even after all this time I still feel lost Each day I realize the cost That the river of darkness will always flow Consuming me and my soul This morning I woke up to the rain Another day of the same A tear formed on the side of my eye Though I tried hard not to cry Wish I knew how to move on Not think daily how you’re gone But I can’t for you are all I see In everything that is in front of me When I look into the mirror That fact couldn’t be any clearer That I’m turning out to be just like you Something I always wanted to do To me as a child, you were the one A perfect father to your son Now that son misses you so From the depths of his soul
