all the ones I love are leaving,
all the while I sit here screaming
surrounded by a sea of faces
yet standing all alone.
I hear people say my name,
while they just stare at me as if im stone.
Wanting nothing more the to be held in your arms
wishing for their warmth and comfort.
Waiting for these wounds to heal.
I sit here and mourn your loss
tied up by restraints of pain.
Daddy you’ve come and gone, poppie your slowly leaving
Granny took my daddy’s hand
escaping the life she knew.
Grampie, with his fiddle strung,
played his soul away from me.
Daddy I miss you, granny I need you,
poppie how could I lose you too?
Grampie I hear you, playing a sweet tune
somewhere in my memories
My heart is aching,
my world is breaking,
as the ones I love slowly drift away.
Causing this feeling of loniness
to quickly grow.
I feel your essense leaving,
see your faces all reeling
through my memory
all the while growing dimly
with less and less detail.
Please don’t leave me,
please protect me, please watch over me,
Wrap me in your loving embrace
when this world seems too much to take.
Help me take comfort in your memory,
in the times I hold dear,
and heal my breaking heart
from all the loss it has endeared.
