Movie Premier and a Murderer
I'm sorry for the pain and hatred this man in black created on this evening of July 2012
Our loved ones are gone and we feel so alone
Your greed took away our families in need
You were so very wrong
Together our society is helping us stay strong
Your photo shows a grin on your face
You took away so many loved one’s and put them through hell
You no longer have in this world a place
Think about all the wrong you have done while in your cell
Because of you our loved ones are now gone many human lives were taken away
On that one terrible movie night Friday

We think about the anger within our hearts and can only grieve, hope and pray
The pain you have put onto us and the world is more than some can bare
You’ve brought to us shame Tears full of questions
Much regret and such rage
Our families will have to burry loved ones
And only be able to visit their graves
Our hearts are all bent and may not be able to fully mend
So many eyes all filled with tears
With so many unfamiliar fears
We didn't get to say goodbye
It’s just too painful to hear your lies
The loved one’s had so much to live for it’s not right that you’re still here and they are not
They all will never be far from our hearts and minds and never be forgotten
Don't think that our loved one’s you’ve taken away are far apart
They forever and always are here within our hearts
When you take away a life
Make no mistake you will not be liked
Lives are clinging on to survive
What you did was a cowardly act of deliberate hatred
Don’t deny these loved one’s a chance at grieving with all your horrible inner most feelings
Grief is a journey that needs to be taken
So with every waking moment don’t ever try to pretend that you care
You controlled the situation for months, weeks, and days until this frightful Friday evening
Every night as we watch the news with all it has to express
You can sit in your prison cell and courtroom looking unresponsive and fake
It may take a long while but your actions have spoken
Through it all our love for one another you’ll never break
For it’s not your loved ones you injured or killed but, people you didn’t know
So how dare you destroy so many families with you inner most plans of destruction?
You’re brought so much hatred into the theatre and now
God and our court system will decide your fate
As people were dying so many were crying
It’s not fair that your still here and they are no longer allowed to walk along side loved ones
Look what you have done what you’ve taken away
You shot and shot and shot away
Not caring what these innocent people were trying to do on this terrifying day
How dare you think it was alright to take them away
Loved ones are in heaven and we all have a hard time saying goodbye
Now that God is with them all in heave above, up in the beautiful bluish sky
We will continue to hope and pray for our loved ones
Anger fills our hearts and souls
You took away precious people we’ll never get another chance to hold
Your anger was deadly to all the people around
With horrible, terrifying, gunshot sounds
As our family members walked into the bright light I’m sure it was a beautiful sight
Behind the tears, fears, and uncertainties a person can go blind by a man who didn’t care
It has been hard to hear the horrible news of a shooting that happened at a movie premiere
You judged these people on this horrible night you took them away and injured many
I'm sorry for the pain and hatred this man in black created on the evening of July 2012
Our loved ones are gone and we feel alone
Your greed took away our families in need
You were so very wrong
Together our society is helping us stay strong
We have broken hearts unsure at times where to heal and how to start
This man who came into the theatre ready to harm
Not seen within sight it ended up not being a pleasant but scary night
So many tears have been shed and life’s lost on this horrible day
All the world seems to be able to offer with all their love is to pray
This movie night was quite depressing and fearful with screaming, panicked moviegoers scrambling to escape
Hero’s arose from beyond the seats in hopes to protect their loved ones with their bodies shielding another
This night at the movies was like no other
Each person covering up a person treated others like a sister and brother
The many men who cared enough to love the one’s running scared
It’s hard to hear the cries that bare each person's soul
So many cries that yelled out in pain
These wonderful people may never be the same
The tireless men and women who are doing all that they can
This man took away so many lives
Our loved ones are in heaven not far from us they are gone
Wish for the court system to make this man pay for all he’s done
So many wonderful people just out to see a movie ended up losing what they once knew
We all hope and pray that together we can heal all the sorrows of all tomorrows

Keep good memories alive and strong
For the ones who lost their life’s did nothing wrong
Compassion around our world is within our hearts
For it’s never too late to begin to help others and do our part
What begins as a tough road of healing
We can all help one another with our support and loving feelings
We’ll never be the same since we lost so many that Friday evening
The grieving process won’t be easy
With our love and support in cards and letters of hope we send
It’s never going to be the same with our loved one’s gone
You hid behind the dark in the theater with your black gear
Making sure everyone there was in fear
You took away so much
The pain and loss brings many more tears
We are forever going to miss our loved one’s touch
I'm sorry for the pain and hatred this man in black created on this evening of July 2012
Our loved ones are gone and we feel so alone
Your greed took away our families in need
You were so very wrong
Together our society is helping us stay strong
We have broken hearts unsure at times where to heal and how to start
This man who came into the theatre ready to harm
Not seen within sight it ended up not being a pleasant but scary night
So many tears have been shed and life’s lost on this horrible day
All the world seems to be able to offer with all their love is to pray
Hero’s arose from beyond the seats in hopes to protect their loved ones with their bodies shielding another
This night at the movies was like no other
Together we can all help care and love one other
God Bless and Much Love to all the victim’s and their families and friends and to the heroes who saved another and to the Police, Firefighters, Justice System and Media
