Past Tense

by Beautiful Forever   Mar 25, 2008


Laying in bed, lost inside my mind,
[Don't go! Quick! Look behind!]
Haunting memories invade my thinking,
This is why I started drinking,

My mind was once so full of joy,
[What happened to that boy?]
Now I can't even find the light,
As I struggle to sleep at night,

Sweating while having the same dream,
[What was that? I heard someone scream...]
He was there with me, on that day,
But when I left him, he was cold and gray,

Screeching wheels, the sound of a car,
[I couldn't reach him, he was too far]
I fell to my knees, crying my eyes out,
My lungs broke, as I began to shout,

There wasn't anything I could do,
[It's ok, I forgive you]
Now I just count the days until my end,
So I can see you again, my friend...
