Designing a Requiem

when everything came crashing down
the emptiness tore me up from the inside out
The silence broke me down to nothing
through the ashes of this year
I saw you buried and laid to rest
it was so hard to hold back all my tears
I never thought I'd see the day
that I would have to mourn a fallen friend
so I stand in disblief, unwilling to accept
I try to understand
how a world consumed by darkness
it's a tragedy that it lost one of it's brightest lights
In a time when things fall apart so quick
I still hold on to the pieces and keep you alive
This requiem is all I have
to show that you will be in my heart to show that you will be with me
In a time when things fall apart so quick
and mourning becomes a constant
it's up to me to make sure that you aren't forgotten
from this day foward
I will not relive the days of griveing
release your ghost and let finally it rest
Your imprint still stays with me
I held on to your words
they were guide when the storm
was right on top of me
the days behind me are broken
your spirit still lives on inside
through it all, I will remember (you)
I will carry on for you
