It washes over me
filling me with dread
This feeling of uncertainty
This knowledge I have


I talk it through
I walk it out
I laugh out loud
I cry and shout


My head thrown back
my fists are clenched
Why didn't I see this?
Why can't I turn away?


You took it away
I gave it back
you smiled at me
I started to cry


You wiped my tears
said it would be alright
You held me close
so warm and tight


I look for you now
but I feel lost
I know the reality
of my loss


So take it away
I won't give it back
don't smile at me
I don't want to cry
