she was lost and so alone
lost to herself with no where else to go
trying to heal the endless grey
crying for help but no one came
but no one came
so far away
i can hear her say
i can hear her
“i wish you’d stayed”
“i wish you’d stayed”
underneath the smile lies fears and hatred and regret
as she comes to terms in a blink of an eye
and the rotten taste of fear dissolves, clarity comes
and before her lays the glass of pills of uncertainty and relieve
as she embarks the light with me
she cried out:
“everything is fine, everythings alright!”
“you’ll be fine!”
“you’ll be alright!”
I’ll be all right
she slips away
she wish you’d stayed
she slips away
she wish you’d stayed
he watched the sunset once again
the old harbor with the ghost of an old friend
one year later he still hear her laugh
miss her everyday like she never pasted
spring is coming but still feels so cold
like her pale hands he couldn’t hold
“i could have stayed”
“i should have stayed”
“im so sorry love but seasons changed”
packed his bags and slipped away
memories of the old days
warmer nights - without pain
trapped under ice with no escape
trapped under ice
with no
all days turn to nights
but nothing returns
Memories Tired eyes
recall
“i could have stayed”
“i should have stayed”
“im so sorry love but seasons changed”
packed his bags and slipped away
