Darkness fell

1 0 0
                                    

Darkness fell in your mind

Long ago

No pleasure, no joy in your heart

Only woe

Broken not bones

But your soul

Years of neglecting have taken

Their toll


Oh, how I miss your smile

The melody of your laugh

How I miss the boy

I once saw

In you


You're so lost

Like a child in the dark

You wear sadness and pain

Like a mark

Don't let the flicker of hope

Fade into grey

Or the past's demons will get you

As their prey


Oh, how I miss your smile

The melody of your laugh

How I miss

What I shared

With you


Come back to me from the depths

See the day

No night is eternal, believe

What I say

How can I save you?

By selling my soul?

I'd do it gladly

Your peace of mind is my

Only goal


Francis O'Neal:  A friend of mine suffered a severe nervous breakdown a few years ago. He totally fell apart. It was hard to watch and there was nothing I could do. I'm trying to deal with my bad conscience and frustrations here.
