You've missed school lately.
I missed you lately.
I haven't seen you lately.
I watched as your eyes faded to gray.
I know you don't want to stay.
You haven't come by in a while-
Now my heart is full of sorrow.
I know you're drifting away.
I couldn't do something sooner.
It feels I've failed you.
I couldn't do anything sooner.
I've sent my brightest angels upon you.
All my hopes and dreams.
I give you my life-
All I have.
But it was too late-
I knew you weren't ok.
I knew you felt the pain.
But I was too blind to see.
I couldn't help.
I just hurt you.
Just pain.
That's all I had to give.
Several attempts the angels gave.
To take you away from me.
But I couldn't give.
I was selfish.
I knew you didn't want to stay.
But I kept on holding on.
But didn't hold on tight enough.
So you now drift away.
I wish I could've done better
Maybe if I'd known you sooner
Or knew you better.
But I feel you fade away.
You were too beautiful for this world.
A burning ember in the ocean.
A light in the sea of dark.
So as the angels surround you.
And the bells ring.
Tonight the world is full of silence
You are led to heaven
.Tonight as I cry my weary eyes
.I know you belong
My heart is weeping.
Forever hurting.
You've held me once through the dark.
Now I hold your lifeless stare.
.
.
I just wish I could've done better.
Better...
Better...
Better...
But it's not better.
