Feeling the sorrow
wash
pour over me
The anger, the magnitude
of
travesty
Knowing nowhere to go
nowhere safe
to be
Feeling feelings so deep
deep
inside of me.

I have heard your voice
Felt your gentle soul
Know your touch is
What I feel
When soft breezes blow.
I don’t need to see you
For I know you’re near
Holding me close forever
Forever, my sweet love
My sweet dear.

You are with me
I feel you near
you will be here
til
the angels call you to them
Can you hear?
I touch your lips, your hand
I see your eyes
they’ve become distant
in their gaze
I’m sure
they don’t see me
standing here
Lie in peace
lay down with love
for we’ll keep you in our hearts
we’ll keep you near
til our time too has come
Oh my sweet
sweet dear.

No more can I
be
the one that stands
in front of
thee
Protects you from the evil
festering
beneath the filthy sea
the cursed land
that your heart stands upon
longing
to be free
No more can I do this and be
I’m pleading
free yourself from all this trouble
harming you
please, please
break your own self
free.
