Troubled Times

I cry myself to sleep each night,
Wondering what I’m not doing right.
Why everyone around me gets hurt,
And why I can’t seem to help those I love.

Should I lay down to eternal slumber?
Rid the world of my curse?
Why, oh why, must I make things worse?
I feel that I should just go.

If I should leave and let you be,
Life would go on so easily.
You could have fun and be all right,
And maybe your parents would stop the fight.

But of one thing I can be sure,
My love for you shall endure,
No matter where or when I am,
You’ll always be in my heart and mind.
