I knew I wouldn’t sleep
When buried thoughts are swirling deep
Knowing today that somebody threw their life away
Anger bubbles to the surface
Knots in my neck are certain to worsen
Gifts unused when others suffer abuse
Looks, talent, and charm
Can somehow do more harm
Conniving plans, using others on shifting sands
The loving embrace of a father and mother
Is more than what comes to many others
Betraying the Faith to turn away and become the snake
I searched for the family I never knew
I found love, hate, and ridicule
You and I were kindred spirits, writing songs with endless lyrics
We prayed and offered shelter
Your lies became helter skelter
I’ll cry tomorrow when anger turns to sorrow
Was the rush worth it?
The high of a hit to the lowest of pits
Killing love and all that is Sacred above
You lost so much when so small
The Devil chased you down the hall
I thought you’d outrun him, but the ending of the story is sad and grim
Tonight I won’t be sleeping
Tonight I won’t be weeping
Knowing today that somebody threw their life away
