So many questions are drifting
in life, answers slipping...
A small child kneels before God every night
She prays in the darkness with an inner light...
I'm not writing to yell at you
There's just something I must know...
I thought you would be safe,
Safe from all harm...
The rain falls from the sky,
Like the tears that fall from my eyes...
Lilliana's birthday is in just two days...
Haven't you heard? She'll turn eight this year...
Confusion parading through my mind.
Word had been always of elders...
I tried to shove the open truth
between every layer of the wound...
This lifetime of empty eased up my cries
When I first saw love in your deep brown eyes...
I just love these romantic evenings
That I want to share with you...
Locked so tight, i hear your respiration,
I love you, This night, this sensation...
The day you went away
That was the day I knew...
