I Will Cry No More

As I watch the horizon blur,
I wipe you from
My eye i've seen
You here before,
Lately you've stayed
Close by the lady that
I know as mom
Has returned to
The Lord's dust
Creating a whole
No one can fill,
But in the
Lord I trust
Trusting in the Lord
Will not keep the
Tears away or
The rage that I
Keep bottled up,
This depression is
Here to stay
I know one day
I would see you
Again and I know
You are in a better place
But I must see
Your face some
Day I can not wait
Until God's grace.
My horizon is blurred,
I know not what to do
I wipe the tears
Out of my eyes
Put on my
Socks and shoes
The journey I will
Take will be that
Blurred horizon as
I awoke in the
Morning just to
Put on a mask.
The mask that makes
Everything seem all right,
But they don't know
I cry at night.
Those nightmares
Just won't go away.
If only I knew it was
Your last day.
For six years
I've felt this pain.
The feeling just
Won't go away.
Everyone thinks
I've dealt with
Your death the best,
But without this
Mask I'd be a mess.
And for this
I will cry no more,
I will hold my tears inside.

I'm writing this to you,
Telling you we're through.
I can't take it anymore,
Don't know what I liked you for.
All you did was wear me out.
Now I know what you're all about.
You came to me with promise and joy,
Now look at all the things you've destroyed,
Families, lives, bank accounts, you see.
You ruined it all with one little tease.
Look at the way you make me feel
Then you take it all and want me to steal.
Why can't you just go and hide
Somewhere far away where I'll never find?
Everyone at home doesn't understand
How you rip me apart then lend me a hand.
I keep coming back thinking that
Maybe this time I'll make you my mine.
Then I sit and wonder,
Why do you really want me to die?
Thousands and thousands come to you
Hoping and praying you'll help them through.
Then they fall for your lending hand,
Only to realize you're nothing but a scam.
You promised me heaven yet you condemn me in hell.
You ruined my life and yet you've wished me well.
So watch me now as I go on my way.
I'm washing myself of all your pain.
So you and your shit can just leave me be.
I'm taking my life and setting it free.
