Death

A shadow casts upon my soul
creeping blackness swallows me whole
emptiness tortures the part of me that lives
knocking me down like sedatives
broken memories flash behind my eyes
that stop me in my tracks and hypnotize
trying to bring him back to life inside my head
i can't accept that he's really dead.
I saw the body
heard the preacher preach
all the while reality
wasn't within reach.
I know I'm depressed
sinking farther down
and still i hide the hurt
until no ones around.
Suffering in sadness
drowning in tears of pain
replaying these damn memories
where he will forever remain...
