When the Light Goes Out

Alone I cry tears For the loss Alone rivers flood my eyes For I mourn for what was once here I lost him to the life of chaos He chose the game over me He gave me up and threw away the key I watched him throw life away I watched him drive the nails among the deep set veins I watched the blood fall so heavily and soak so deep The pain was overwhelming I no longer see beauty in life It was taken away the night he left I gave up There is no use Beauty was destroyed The light of life has faded away.
