I Lost Someone


I lost someone To a life of the unloved Someone who brought untold limits I lost someone to the heavens above A heart of a giant Towering higher than Jacks stalk But met a wolf when crossing a fork I lost someone to the Devils talk The heart of a fighter Now has fallen from the sky Dropped to knees and blood I lost someone to dangerous lies An arrow to the chest Gunned down in a game Playing the streets I lost someone with a name The faces of currency whispered The needle of the fallen angels cried When brought together, a moment of serenity I lost someone when these two things collide In the stars, a war rages Where winners count are none Head up child, count your blessings Because I lost someone.
