Hey There Dehlila


In a desolate bed I lie awake
Remembering the good things Time did take
Like memories and love and trust that broke
Its crazy what things sorrow can provoke

pain is real- yet you conceal how you feel
Causing you to do what felt so unreal
Your noose should have gave, you should have spoke up
If only you didn't just pent it up

Your pain was too much for just you to bear
So you unjustly decided to share
I miss you most now but I missed you then
I wish I could tell you how mad I've been

As for me it's appropriate to say
I wish that Death would sweep himself away
