Vahannus
A man with no face
No history to find
Deleted the world
Lost in the life of his mind
Had everything at his finger tips
But his silence cut off his hands
Leaving the one who loved
Buried in the desert sands
Thirsty for his attention
One granule for every thought
She filled her mouth with dirt
Until she could move not
She begged and pleaded
Got nothing in return
Tears could not put out the fire
A heart, once again, burned
He took away the memories
The family that was dear
Silenced the one who loved him
Love lost to fear?
Live and let live
That's what they say
He killed a part of the soul
Each and every day
She heard a faint voice
A little girl stood by her side
"Mum, I love you"
She then began to cry
"Don't give up
I need you too much
Carry me to the land of love
Teach me and such
I am scared to live
Please show me the way
I will not silence
My love is here to stay"
Mud came spewing out
Her lungs filled with air
She hugged the little girl
And they walked into a world so unfair
You cannot teach someone to love
Remember the children
When something goes wrong
They are the innocent
