Rebecca

Losing a child. Hard to express into words, can these explain how one feels, I'd say not, entirely, It's taken 13 years to publish this. I hope it may help someone else. Please feel free to message. Thank you. PL.

"Rebecca"

It ain't any fun lying down to sleep

And there ain't any secrets, left for me to keep

I wish the stars up in the sky would all just stick

And the clouds would take the moon out on some one way trip

I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend

But somehow they drove me back here once again

To the place I lost a love, and the place I lost my soul

I wish I'd just burn down this place, that I call home

It would have been so easy, if you'd only let me cry

And told me you're leaving me to some organ grinders lullaby

It's hard; it's tearing out my heart, its hard letting you go

Now the sky, it shines a different kind of glow

Now I just know, it's because of the loss of you

I just miss you – It's the nights that I go insane, unless you're coming back for me

That's the one thing I know won't change, it's so hard

It's tearing out my heart, knowing that I lost you

I know I'm not a fool, and for me, you were just passing through

The only thing I hope, is that your passage through life was painless

It ain't any fun lying down to sleep

Cos I know that you, I can't keep

My memories are my only book

As a part of my life, I hope that you took.
