You storm in with no passion
showing all of your emotions at once
not knowing what you are doing
you are blind

Lost all that you once loved
and we are gone

No one told us it would be like this
and you are gone

The stains on your face are brighter than ever
and the blood on your hands burns the night sky
showing skin and arms together

Wrapped in what happened before
you knew what you were dragging us into
do you have to be so blunt?
No, we know what has been done

No words can fix us now
footsteps on the path you have taken us down
wiped away by the branch hanging by your belt

You showed us to the edge of this cliff
hanging by two fingernails, wishing

You are gone

No one told us this would happen
and you are gone

No words can explain
no actions danced out on this floor
will ever speak volumes now

Now that you have left

Having this inside of me is more than I can take
help us understand
the reasons you,
and the others

Are gone
