The Darkness Within

Save the Girl with Long Brown Hair

There was an ache in my stomach
A pain in my side
That wouldn't go away
No matter what I tried.

A throbbing headache
And thoughts I regret
Memories that haunt me
That I'm trying to forget.

A cut on my arm
A scrape on my leg
A hit of this smoke
I'll drink this whole keg.

As things fall down around me
And people keep dying
They have given up
And I should stop trying.

But I realize
That their lives should be long
With their hearts intact
And their body strong.

But I realize
Oh what can I do
Things will never get better
I'm a mess too.

You said you quit
And I said no
You said you gave up
And I didn't let go.

And as your mind wandered
And you slowly left
You were beautiful
With so much depth.

But now you're leaving
And you're saying goodbye
I'm blaming myself
I didn't even try.

To save the girl
With long brown hair
Scars and stories
Who didn't care.

Her world fell apart
And I wasn't there
To save the girl
Who stopped breathing air.
