Burial (Denial)

I can’t accept this mourning,
I refuse to see your body laid to rest,
I imagine the faces of everyone you left.
As children you don’t think of the end,
The last time someone will lean on you to depend,
Or the loss of a friend.
Life is never fleeting, your heart is always beating.
A thin veil before the truth,
The lights blur and pass just like our youth.
They’ve buried you in me with every stare,
(So fight fair) Hold tight your soul until you get there.
You're still alive in my head,
Come back where you belong.
Don’t let my glass go empty, I’m drowning myself tonight,
With every tale that’s told I lose the fight.
After the final glass has been emptied and the last lament has been shared,
I’ll have to finally tell myself, finally tell myself that you are really dead.
You're still alive in my head,
"That isn't good enough",
Where have you gone,
"You left me alone",
What else could I have said,
“Something, anything”,
Come back where you belong,
"There's no coming back from this".
A thin veil before the truth,
The lights blur and pass just like our youth.

Therapy (Anger)

We’ve all been harmed and I’m not the only one who feels lost,
But what’s the cost?
You pretend to listen just so you can speak,
In this circle we sit trying to find release.
But do you really care?
My rage is my own I have none to share.
There’s no peace, no calm,
No shelter from the storm,
You took the rain and left a drought ,
You left the world and let me down.
In the nights these floor boards creek,
In the same old groan you used to speak,
But no one is there.
The only gift you left to keep,
Is how you haunt me in my sleep,
There’s no peace, no calm,
No shelter from the storm,
You took the rain and left a drought ,
You left the world and let me down.
Stay out of my head (I don’t need this).

Ghost (Bargaining)

(Take me out of my head, bury me instead)
Are my cries being heard? Is there a larger force at work?
Or have I been wasting my breath?
I’m just a broken soul.
Take me and let them stay, I’m only throwing this life away,
My guilt is worth it’s weight in bone,
Lead me to you, because I can’t stomach it.
Take me out of my head, bury me instead.
The ghost of you still follows and leaves me weak,
The ghost of you still follows and haunts me.
I saw the Hell in your eyes, the caution in your step,
The struggle it took for you to take the next breath.
And it haunts me,
No matter how much I’d say I care, you suffered alone,
No hope. No where.
Take me and let them stay, I’m only throwing this life away,
My guilt is worth it’s weight in bone,
Lead me to you, because I can’t stomach it.
Take me out of my head, bury me instead.
But when I think of angels, I start to think of death,
And I can’t put you and them in the same breath.

Burn (Depression)

Every day starts the same, the feeling of emptiness awakes from it’s sleep, Silence has stopped.
I surrounded myself with the company of loneliness,
(I started talking to myself) I started craving interaction.
Waiting for the tiredness to hit me enough that I fall into rest,
Waiting for solace to return before waking to your absence once again.
Im not sure if this memory of you, is what I remember,
Or if I’m just trying to create a forest fire from an ember.
Am I seeing you for the trees? These roots run dry inside of me.
There’s a wild fire inside my head,
And I can’t stop the flames.
It's been years since someone mentioned your name,
And for that I'll take all of the blame.
No flowers on your grave to bloom, blossom and fade.
There’s a wild fire inside my head,
And I can’t stop the flames,
And I burn with all you said,
Yet there’s a chill within my bones..
Take this life away.
Have I been starring in the mirror for too long? I don't recognise myself.
Like repeating a word, trying to find meaning.
“I know you had something to ask”,
Do you think I did enough?
“You should’ve done more”,
Was my hand ever there for you to hold?
“I was drowning before you cared”,
Do you forgive me?

Rest (Acceptance)

Your last statement, a page left for us all to share,
The last words you ever wrote. Each word deliberate and final,
“For those who care..”, and suddenly time stops.
“None of you are to blame,
I just can’t find a pause from the pain,
I’m not strong enough,
not able to cope through the strain”.
Im lost in your thoughts,
At the scene where you fell,
While the drop for you was short,
The fall for me was hell.
I still can’t find the strength to read it again,
To hear your whole head was a wreck.
I trace through the lines, like I did on that night,
when you threw in the towel and gave up the fight.
I’m just not getting by, barely clinging on, but I understand,
And I hope you found peace, that you found rest.
My fingers pressed against your name,
The ink has faded from years of neglect.
Im lost in my thoughts,
At the scene where i’ll fall,
And I’ll sink like you did,
I deserve this Hell.
As your lungs filled, your heart slowed still,
and your lips turned blue, the image as you sank..
There’s nothing I can do,
I destroyed myself when I took your life from you.
