Before Your Time
I sit here as a child
watching the eyes that once smiled
blink out
Doubt
fills my mind
as I try to find a rhyme
that explains
this sadness ripping into me like rain
rips the sun
"Run!"
screams my mind,
trying to help me find a line
of thought to get me away
from this place of decay.
But I can't leave.
You're gone and I'm stuck here to grieve
until the sight
of you losing your life
fades away.
"No, please stay!"
I call to your memory
for I know I will never be
okay
and I need you to remain with me
for if you leave
I will have to be
my only friend,
again.
I sit here as a child
watching the eyes that once smiled
go out with the dawn
you once lived wild
but now you're gone.
