Burning embers sizzle inside
Fueling the upcoming anger
Life's to precious to be taken away
Yet sometimes it has to happen
Does anyone see the secrets
Hidden beneath the surface of this face
A fear everyday that she'll be gone
Return home and a message waiting
Explaining it was her time, she passed
Her funeral will be on this date, hope you can come
Why must she be dying
Denial fills my mind
Telling me this isn't happening
She won't be on her death bed in August
But soon enough reality will take over
Unfortunately the time must come for everyone
For her it has come far to soon
Tomorrow is never promised
Don't take today for granted
Please save her so there can be a tomorrow
So far away, yet so close
I'd give anything to have you
Held in my arms
At least then I'd know you're safe
Even though your slowly burning out
The light seems to be dimming
Your outlook seems to have fallen
Don't give up hope yet
The strongest make it through the roughest times
I will guide you through your pain
You are my tears, the rain of the May skies
The reason I chose to take another breath
The voice in the back of my mind
My hope, my inspiration
Most importantly my obsession
