Tortured Soul
Horrible images replay in my mind,
I shake my head.
Please go away, I don't want you to stay.
Why do you haunt me, like you do.
I don't need to see, my sweet boy that way.
Why do you torture me, with theses images each day.
I see them but I know they are not true.
My little sweet boy, he's all I have left,
He's the light inside my soul.
He's the reason to why my broken heart still beats.
This boy is the reason why I still breathe.
I keep breathing, I keep living.
I keep sleeping, sleeping is my torture.
Because these images keep replaying.
He's lifeless eyes, take the breath from within me.
His pale skin, tear's a hole in my heart.
I wake screaming no... Don't...
Please don't take the only reason,
To why I am still alive.
I fight the image, every time I close my eyes.
He's limp hanging and all I can do is cry.
I watch you sleeping peacefully, kiss your head.
As a tear falls down my face.
And whisper to myself thank god,
You're not dead.
