You faded away
Like the light into darkness
The shadows set in
Bringing pain and sadness
You left me alone in the unforgiving rain
It couldn't wash away the tear i shed
The chilling wind howled
My skin grew pale as I cried turning my eyes light red
Your spirit slipped through my finger
I watched it bleed into the night sky
I could no longer feel your warmth
But I could see your smile weaken and die
You fought away the deamons of my past
But now that you're gone
I lay here defenseless
Your smile
Your embrace
Your touch
Your strength
Are all a distant memory
But ones I will not soon forget
To hear your voice once more
will bring peace to my heart
But knowing you're not near
tears me apart
Sleep well
Rest in peace
For these tears are for you
And no one else....
