Through the Dark


Through the Dark

 

If it were dark

I could still see you

If it formed red

I would still see blue

I miss your smile

I miss your touch

If it were just one time

That would never be enough

Now I'm standing here

Fighting this war

The scar from your death

Still so sore

I'll progress in life

And live our dream

But just like the choir

My heart still sings

A pulsating beat

In rhythm with your wings

A loss today

Means victory tomorrow

I refused to cry

Because I know you hate sorrow

You wanted the best

And not just for me

But in memory of you

That's what I'll be

A vibrant yet cold heart

Not set for this degree

Without you here

I'll learn to pull through

Because even through the dark

I would still see you
