And here I am, thinking Smiling or crying I can’t understand all that’s come to be The last petal of the rose is falling The sound of the tear you gave to me A sudden rainbow painted the sky It caught my eye, and your gaze shifted too You slipped on your shoes And grabbed your backpack Created arcs in the universe That no longer aligned with you They erased the stars I placed in the sky for you They scribbled on the walls Of the house we never built, it’s true They unraveled the beauty Of that angel who, for me Will never smile again Walking this road, trying to find Answers to everything as time unwinds Life slips away like sand in my hands But I move forward, seeking where I stand The past is a shadow that tries to take hold But I won’t look back, I'm ready to soar Each tear is a step toward my evolution Each smile, a question without resolution Life’s a battle, an endless game And I'm in the ring, fighting for my name On the street, on the beat, in the rhythm I find I turn pain into poetry, redefining my mind I carve my dreams on the wall of time Sketching new hopes in the whispers of the wind With every stumble, I rise up stronger In rhyme, in struggle, I find my center They erased the stars I placed in the sky for you They scribbled on the walls Of the house we never built, it’s true They unraveled the beauty Of that angel who, for me Will never smile again They erased the stars I placed in the sky for you They scribbled on the walls Of the house we never built, it’s true They unraveled the beauty Of that angel who, for me Will never smile again
