As the cartoons played
behind the loss of innocence
a sacrifice of youth
born a love so intense
A gift was given
you unto me
and me unto you
a start of a family
Together as children
we head out to see
a path untraveled
riddled with uncertainty
Hand in hand
a mother and her son
Smiles and scars
we shared as one
Now as life
has spread us apart
you remain
always in my heart
These words I write
will never suffice
for the life you gave
through your sacrifice
A simple phrase
will always be true
with all my heart
I love you

The gun lays on the nightstand on her side of the bed. He glances at it briefly. What is it doing there? He is alone tonight. It happens rarely and when it does it gets dark. The darkness is comforting. An old friend of sorts. Has it always been this way. Not exactly. He used to have a smile that was real. At one time there was substance to his gaze. Not now though. Darkness is here. It hugs him gently, calling him down into its void.

Lost within your world
I was blinded by love
I never saw what came
I was slapped awake
alone in the darkness
All I had were memories
I couldn't stop the pain
I had to break free
I found an old gun
Loaded it with bullets
Stuck it to my head
Pulled the trigger
Set my soul free
Lost with hell
I am blinded by pain
I know what's coming
I am always awake
alone in the dark
All I want are memories
I want to stop the pain
I can't break free

How can you
forget about us?
How can you
throw it away?
When you kiss
him do you
ever feel my
lips? When he
holds you close
do you ever
feel my body?
When you talk
to him on
the phone do
you hear my
voice? Will you
ever come back
to my open
arms? Will you
ever forget I
love you? Do
you think he
could be better?
You will never
forget me. It'll
never be the
same, but I
love you anyway

Down deep inside
it's very cold
All this pain
is getting old
The torment is
driving me insane
I have absolutely
nothing to gain
All I have gained
I am now without
Your love for me
I will never doubt
All that's left
is to die
I don't want
to live a lie
I hope you're happy
now that you're free
Don't look back cause
I'm no longer here to see
