Dismal Christmas

The world ends tonight
Every night, I die a little inside
How beautiful life is
How awful, and how beautiful
He only knew pain, he left quickly

He is why I hold on to you
Why I hold so close, yet so far away
Christmas day, what a lovely gift
To hear of his death.. Not two days old
And the cruelty of the world devoured his soul

I hold on tight to sanity
Not an eye did I lay upon him, yet I loved him still
So hold me close as I gather the pieces
And become once again me
