I had a dream last night You died again I had a dream last night And I had to survive again It all still hurts Even though it's been three years It all still hurts Come back again I need you here again Why did you die, again?

Here
It's been a while Are we okay? I ask this question every day Who are you to leave me hanging For the millionth time What is left to be taken? Well, this time I have the upper hand Because this time, I never actually let you in So go on and get out It won't phase me one bit I'm fine on my own I don't need your ****

Upper Hand
It hurts You feel empty Like no one will ever know The pain is crippling Takes you down in a moment Impossible to stand back up Where's the light at the end of the tunnel The rainbow after the storm The color in the picture It's all gone It's disappeared It's empty But you have to stand up You have to hold your ground You are important There will be a light There will be a rainbow The color is still there, just open your eyes Stay, stay, stay.

Stay, stay, stay
It took a long time You fought the good fight But sometimes it's not enough You always had a smile You never showed the pain It was hard to tell the cancer was even there, sometimes But now you are home With the angel's wings we all knew should be on your shoulders Among the saints

Among the Saints
Carpe diem Seize the day I know it's scary I know it's hard But you don't have to be alone Don't get swallowed up It's not your fault Don't blame yourself Stay strong Be brave You are beautiful You are chapter that need not end yet Carpe diem Seize the day Live it well Let it ring

Carpe Diem
It was one summer With many goals One summer that allowed me to figure it all out In one moment I realized what I want to do for sure But in one moment I also realized I missed you Yet in the next I realized that I am one person that doesn't need you And that I am one person that can change the world All it took was one summer One

One
It repeats, repeats This feeling repeats The need to hurt, to get this unspoken pain out It repeats, it repeats It repeats, it repeats The panic The shaky breaths, the heart racing It repeats, repeats It repeats, it repeats The phone rings Need to call, need to get help It repeats, it repeats She repeats, she repeats Try to breathe Find your favorite song, drink some tea She repeats, she repeats Song repeats, song repeats I can breathe Sing along, drink the hot tea Song repeats, song repeats Back on repeat, back on repeat I'm okay Just praying it will stay this way Back on repeat, back on repeat

Repeat
The fact that it's been 5 months The fact that  you are gone The fact that I can no longer call your voicemail and at least hear your voice there The fact that this weight is crushing me The fact that you would be getting married The fact that you should have graduated The fact that your nephew won't remember you The fact that I can't hug you Or yell "mom" at the top of my lungs The fact that I still cry whenever someone talks about you The fact that my best friend is gone I miss you

Things I don't know how to handle
Same old story Same old tale But to you it never seems to get old Have you ever considered the way it affects me Or how much it hurts to see your glee I am backing away This time to never return It's time for me to go And for once ignore my rear view mirror Goodbye
