Hoping

Numbing her mind with pills she takes
Evading answers that you make
Killing time with weed and drugs
Filling their hearts full of dust
Painful memories
Happy endings
All things you wish for

Father's gone
Mother is too
Brother is off
They've left without you

Wishing for a better life
Hoping it can stay the same
Who are you with
Where can you stay
How can a life be this way

Looking for a safe haven
Ending up in darkness
Crying for another way
Smiling with dismay

Time is ticking
Heart is tocking
Breath is slowing
Blood is seeping
Clothes are soaking
Life is fading away

Darkness then light,
What's to come next
Another life beginning while another life ends.
