The Pain Death Leaves


The autumn leaves shine so bright I know you put up your best fight If I had known, I would have held you tight Some battles are meant to be lost I knew knew how much it would cost Your laughter still fills my ears Sometimes it drowns out my tears None of us told you about our fears We all assumed you still had years It breaks my heart to know you're gone Everything feels oh so wrong As the leaves fall down so fast My mind wanders back to the past You were always such a muse You were just too much to lose In the last days, I gave you one last kiss I hope you know how much you are missed
