I still stay up at night and think of you,
As I stare into this absence of light.
I hold in my breath and hold back my tears,
And I'm stolen by these demons every night.
I think of the times when we'd lay in your bed,
And I'd hold your soft hand in mine.
I would look into your eyes and give you a kiss,
And tell you everything will be fine.
I remember the times when you'd call everynight,
And I would listen to your voice forever.
You'd tell me you loved me and I'd say it back,
But the next time you say it will be never.
I stayed up all night to wait for your call,
The phone didn't even ring.
When the sun came up I heard the phone,
Your mother had called me crying.
I rushed to the hospital but not soon enough,
I couldn't do anything to help.
There before me was your lifeless body,
I can't explain what it was that I felt.
Raped and killed by a shot in the head.
Who would do such a heartless thing?
Ravaged, stolen, and taken away,
Was the angel who made me feel like a king.
My world has frozen since you've gone away,
And all my happiness, gone.
No one else can give me your kiss,
They say life will get better, they're wrong.
Back to the reality of being alone,
Staring into the absence of light.
You were once my light but now you're gone,
And I'm consumed by these demons every night. |
