Deep gut wrenching agony
Pulled from the core within me
Its hard. It hurts.
Bursts of pain
Flood over
Into a thousand tears
And there's no sign of it emptying
Automatic refills
I didn't ask for any of it
Where do I withdraw
Back out and tape caution
Do Not Enter
There is no emergency exit
And I'm drowning myself
I guess I'll just wait it out
Till the tears overflow
No more sobbing
Lying curled up on the floor
I'll be forced to sit up
Waist deep
Stand up
Then shoulder length
And I'll be forced to swim
Float in a sea of misery
Beneath me
Until the salty tears
Becomes water that flows
Under the bridge
Giving way to where
The plenty more fishes would swim

This is how it rolls
The young one's are the first to go
Innocent
Lifted before they live

Souls destined for paradise
Beautiful
Fairies and Angels on loan
Some fly before they are born

Shadows in photographs
Linger
Limited by time
Whisper soft love

Baby scents
And the ghost warming your lap
Tiny hands
Curled around your finger

Hold on tight
You were never meant to have her
She's a gift that'll be returned
Leaving us all to mourn

But rejoice that
Even just for that moment
She was yours
You were a mother

The best that could be
And you loved her
More than anyone could see
But God needed his cherub

More than you and me
Barely there
Dreams
Of what could have been

Hold on tight
Let the light she lit
Grow
Let it spread

The bittersweet perfection
Of how she enchanted
And the goodnight kiss
You pressed against her forehead

Now she's just something
We ain't got
Our favourite person
Who's not where we are

All we want is what we had
But she's moved on
And we'd trade it all to get her back
But she's happy where she's at

longingly we challenge the darkness
inside, opening up to rid the soul of every little
gust of evil thought patterns
honestly holding on, knowing the truth will lead us
towards happiness of white tranquility
