Trying so hard to hide
Hide from others
Hide from Death
As it stomps all over
All over my life
All over the page

Nothing I could have said
Nothing I could have done
Would change that they are gone
Taken by Death too soon
Only hope their sufferings were merciful

So I hide to cope
Hide between words
Written and unwritten
Hoping no one will notice
How far I have drowned
Into the sorrows looming
The loneliness and guilt
Swallowing me whole

Wish I could have told her goodbye
Wish I could have held him as time ended
But wishes prove to be useless
As days go on a little colder
