Loss

The rain falling softly, my face turned to greet it. Wash away the pain, camouflage the tears of shame.

Sun fades, the world remains grey.

Today was the day you walked away.

Night to day, the dagger twists deeper

Alone to witness the sun rise again

The shadows getting deeper

Body is on autopilot, watching it all fall from behind these eyes i don't recognize.

Where has the light gone, where is the humor.

Food without flavor, flowers without colors.

Deep within the voices are screaming, then silence is deafening

Alone again, thoughts are my companion.

Night to day, the dagger twists deeper

Alone to witness the sun rise again

The shadows getting deeper

Body is on autopilot, watching it all fall from behind these eyes i don't recognize.

The world goes on, faceless people pass by

I begin to pray and plead with a god I can't see. I would sacrifice a thousand, to bring you back to me.

Day fades to night, the rain relentless

Night to day, the dagger twists deeper

Alone to witness the sun rise again

The shadows getting deeper

Body is on autopilot, watching it all fall from behind these eyes i don't recognize.

Soon the light will return, the laughter to follow.

This hurt will fade, the memories will always remain.

You left us too soon, left us better

May your journey be swift, may we meet again.

For now my world will remain just a little grey.
