Here beside me

Dark shadows

Start to rise

As I sit

Alone and cry



No one there

To hear my scream

As the blade

Pierces my vein



They try to tell me

I don’t have to go

Maybe they would understand

If they could only know



The pain I feel

As days go by

Because every day

I wish to die



Just disappear where

No one can see

The lost soul

That is the real me



As shadows thicken

I start to see

A diminished glow

From somewhere around me



I know he’s near me

I can feel his soul

The one I lost, and wish to see

Before I go



I hear his voice

In my head

He’s telling me

It’s not the end



I see his face

Before my eyes

And slowly I

Begin to cry



I hear him say

Please don’t cry

It’s not the end

You don’t have to die





I feel his arms

Embrace me tight

As the shadows

Fade to night



I feel him start

To shake with fear

As all he can do

Is hold me near



As the blood

Flows from my vein

It takes away

All life’s strain



With every minute

That goes by

I think of another reason

To not want to die



As I lie

In his loving embrace

I finally find

Eternal peace



I feel a tear

As he starts to cry

Just another reason

Not to die



I run my fingers

Through his hair

And quietly tell him

I will always be there



As he holds me tight

He quietly whispers

In my ear

That I need to fight



Fight for the life

I once knew

Fight to show every one

What I can do



With the love of a friend

Always there by my side

Here with me

Till the day that I die-
