Life

Teary eyes; the tears of a child
Child cries; cries for the loss of someone close
Love dies; dies within years of loneliness
Ripping seams; of the heart sewn back together too much
Chilling screams; of the people who cannot withstand this hell
Blood gleams; from the suicide victims who give up hope
Why die; when you mean the world to someone
Don't cry; im here to save you from this darkness
People lie; too keep us from the awful truth until were ready
Darkness calls; calls upon he who will take us all from here
Dimming halls; from the candle slowly burning out
Scrapes on walls; the walls that have kept in the secrets
Death falls; upon those too weak to fight
Reapers slaves; they who give into temptation
Skeleton caves; skeletons of those who've died in our past
Buried graves; deep within the cold night ghosts walk along their graves still seeking the answer to life
