The heavens weep for those we have lost,
The dark times upon us seem to lift,
As we all stand here in the rain, adding our tears to the heavens'.
We wait for morning, sitting a silent vigil.
'Why did it have to be him?' Is what we were all thinking.
We wonder silently as to our fate.
Death? Survival? We all wonder the answer to these questions,
Each with our own answers.
Will these dark times truly lift from our hearts?
Some cry out to the sky.
Others weep silently, while some weep not at all, except in their hearts.
All our tears, mixing with sorrow, make the chorus of our cries.
As we stand here, wishing he was he with us.
------------------------------------------
Behind these eyes,
Sorrow is a constant burden.
Lives seem to cling to my soul,
Holding me down.
I struggle to break free,
But my troubled soul forbids it.
Try as I might, It is all to no avail.
-----------------------------------------
The pain I feel,
On the outside,
Is nothing compared to the pain on the inside.
Each day, I see those names,
Thinking 'It's all my fault.'
'I could have been there for you…I let you down.'
'Why...'
I feel so alone…
--------------------------------------------
Can nothing heal the pain in my heart?
I've lost everyone dear to me.
I feel so alone.
Yes, there are others,
But they are not as dear to me as the others.
Each moment I think of him,
I feel a wave of anger, hate, and grief.
It's a constant battle between me and my emotions.
--------------------------------------------
I am surrounded by fear.
They all fear me,
Because of something that I had no control over.
All because of this beast,
Sealed within me at birth.
I didn't ask for it,
Or the control over sand and wind.
--------------------------------------------------
I fight for what I think is right,
Protecting those I care for.
I sacrificed myself for the one I care about,
For he saved my life,
Taking me under his wing.
