Following My Heart

Another night, I am consumed by your absence
Your face fades with the falling rain
Another year, I am lost without your guidance
Your name inscribed in the stars

I can no longer be strong without you here
I can no longer wipe away the burning tears
My loss is felt through every bone and vein
My broken life will never be the same again

How could you leave so many so quickly
A thousand strong, But a thousand so weak
We cry your name to the heavens for hope
A hope we lack, A hope you’ll descend again

Why can’t the nights become easier
Why can’t the days become shorter
My vices once covered my burning scars
But even hell cannot keep me from this numb

Your escape is the only pain that keeps me alive
But it ushers me above with the sound of a thousand angels
Your death is the only beating my heart receives
But it begs me to join you once more, And I must follow my heart
