The Ballad of Life and Death

A cry in the night A pain in the heart The need in your eyes An empty space A memory of you I miss you so But you won't know You'll never see What you've done to me The yells and screams The scars I made The ache in my chest The nightmares replayed The public tears The pitiful looks They don't understand They offer no help I want to escape To fall and cry I want it to rain For comfort is in sadness I want to sleep To drift away To never return To leave the world To see you again.
