A Moment To Be Forgotten


Over in a moment Death is nothing to be feared; Life, love, and everything else Is a tragedy for the mind. They say they will never Leave you again but, It is a lie. They just did not know it At the time they spoke. People say To get over it, To understand, To be happy. For why is there happiness? They lied. Over in a moment You join them in the clouds; Nothing is to be feared. You got over it, You understood, You are happy. Now just a statistic. I will follow your footsteps No matter where they go, You will be proud of who I am And who I can never be. When I make my final Pull of the trigger The moment will burn Like ice down my back.
