What could've Been

I could've been your candy apple
Heathy with aside of sweet
But we ended up at the funeral chapel
This became my life's beat

The song drained
Like blood through my veins
My feelings couldn't be maintained
All caused by your pains

What was your struggle
You had me though
The journey became a juggle
Was this the flow

As the river flooded
My skin felt like silk
Nobody was ever this cold blooded
The worse came from the devil’s milk

Of course he was involved
The master of the most hurt
Would this go unsolved
I'll never again wear that t-shirt

The black and white picture
Became more clear
It was such a stricture
The red dots started to appear

The pieces were missing
Would they ever be found
We could of been kissing
But you were put in the ground

Why’d you leave
You abandoned me
Was it to make me grieve
You dropped me to my knee


I ran down the spiral staircase
The first words I've spoken was to your mom
The last thing we had was our embrace
I couldn't hear a sound

The air became a mute
After the shot
Why’d you have to shoot
You could have fought

This became a disaster
Our day was our last
I opened my eyes to see your pastor
Why'd you have to become my past 

I wouldn't let you go
I started searching for you throughout the halls
This mysterious hospital became a blackhole
I could hear through the walls

The sounds became louder
Beep Beep Beep
I could still smell the gunpowder
All i could do is weep

I couldn’t stand on my own two feet
Every breathe i fell farther through the cracks
I wouldn't even eat
I needed to take a step back

The nurse threw pills down my throat
The numbness I began to feel
All I could think about was your quote
I wish you would heal

But I knew this was it
Your memory was all that was left
All I wanted to do was quit
Why’d god have to be a theft

 


But this wasn't it
I would make you proud in the end
I'd still think of you in the moonlight
I'll see you again my friend

Our love will carry on
Save me a seat up there
I'll see you again in the light of dawn
I still feel you in the air

You were the one
It was always known
I will always love you hun
You’ll always be on my phone

I'll get through
I always do and it'll be known
What i say is true
You'll always be my backbone

It's only June
I still have many more years
I'll see you on the moon
Protect me dear
