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
