Struggle

HEAR HIM CRY,
WATCH HIM DIE,
DO YOU CARE ENOUGH TO SAY GOOD-BYE?
CAUGHT UP IN ALL YOU DO,
HE REALLY LOOKED UP TO YOU,
KNOWING KNOW NOT WHAT TO DO,
YOU STRUGGLE TO FIND A CLUE,
THE PIECES OF YOUR LIFE HELD TOGETHER BY GLUE,
HAVE BROKEN APART,
NOW YOU HAVE TO BEGIN FROM THE START,
HOW COULD HE DEPART?
LOVE AND HATE FILL YOUR MIND,
ENOUGH PAIN TO LEAVE YOU BLIND,
WHY IS HE LEAVING YOU BEHIND?
QUESTIONS RACING FASTER AND FASTER,
TO HIM YOU WERE THE MASTER,
IF YOU HAD ONLY GIVEN HIM A SECOND CHANCE,
MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN PROVEN WRONG,
YOU WERE JUST TOO STRONG,
NOW LEFT WEAK,
NOW YOUR INNER SELF YOU TRY AND SEEK,
YOU HEARD HIM CRY,
YOU WATCHED HIM DIE,
BUT HE IS GONE,
AND YOU ARE ALONE.
