The Shadow Wars

Death and the Child

You were always there,
waiting for me with a smile on your lips,
a guiding hand in this confusing world.

Then suddenly you disappeared and my world went dark.
I can't tell which way is up or down,
but this pit I'm in feels a lot like hell.

I'm just a child trying to make sense of this all,
but life doesn't come with directions
so I'm gonna have to learn the fast track way.

What is wrong and what is right?
Not sure now because you're not here anymore,
when you left they took the light.

Now I'm in darkness,
this path I tread,
is teeming with monsters I'm learning to dread.

Somebody help me get out of this dark,
Somebody, please listen to my heart.
It's crying for help,
no one hears it but myself.

You said you would be there,
but I guess you lied,
my heart is tired of playing these games,
I should know by now that life's not all that great,
but I'm still waiting for you to come in through the gate.

Want to give up, but my heart says to wait,
Who am I fooling?
You're not coming back.

Yet sometimes at night I hear your voice,
I call out for you,
but the only answer I get
is the laughter of demons inside my head.

It seems they're the only ones that know you are dead.

But still I hope
because I know if I don't
my heart will stop running,
my heart will just stop.

Is that such a bad thing?
I question myself.
To let go of hope
and embrace my doubt?

To plunge off the edge of infinity's drop,
no more pain, no more sorrow,
everything stops.

The sun rises,
the moon rises,
New day dawns.
how can everything keep going,
when my mommy is gone?
