Why

Sadness wells up inside of me (in rememberance of Kennedy) From memories the should be well and dead Haunting me like eerie voices (a single tear rolls down my cheek) Why do these images haunt me still? Causing me to feel a cold chill? (a shudder passes through me) Pain and strife cut like a knife Paralyzing me, unable to fight (my limbs begin to lock) So long ago, yet the memory is still fresh Causing such tightness in my chest (can't breath) How to purge these demons from my heart When they invade each and every part (I shake myself out of limbo) From my beings very core From my soul to be tore (screaming at myself to move) Casting aside my burdens like shackles (a single sigh escapes my lips) Maybe now I can find some peace (holding Kennedy close to my heart)
