losing a parent

someone said i had your eyes today and they filled with tears
i've been so lonely since you left and i crave you near
i'm paralysed with grief, overwhelmed with fear
you were taken so suddenly like that movie about a deer

i always wished that i would go first
so id never have to watch you leave in a hearse
the sunshine bounces off of my skin
while i dance with your soul in the shadows of sin

i pray and i hope and i hold on to this fragile line
that one day your heart will start again and i can hold you against mine
the cruel ways of the world stole you from me, thats a crime
people say it will get easier but it wont with time

to lose a best friend is a pain i never understood before
and i will be filled with a white hot rage vibrating through my core
that everyday i will have to live with the fact i can hug you no more
this pain is consuming, this sadness is raw
