Wrote It Down
Time has stole my smile away
My eyes no longer shine
No voice calls out behind me, "Hey it's my turn to drive"
No more must we two share
No body left to talk to
No one who really knows
The pain that others cause me
The things make my heart soar
The day my life shattered
The words were cold and sharp
They cut me deep forever
That's when the hell did start
No one left to wrestle with for hours upon Mom's bed
No one left to figure out my crazy mixed up head
Nothing but the words forever haunting me, "Your baby sisters dead"
I traveled miles to reach her
Yet her hand I still can't reach
Falling close to embrace her
Yet mobility concrete
Weeping so to stir her
Yet comfort I can't see
Mad with rage I screech out
Yet the secrets she must keep
Lonely, cold I walk away
There In tomb she must stay
