Wednesday's Woe
Severed Heart
~Edmund Kuznicki
| |
You are the silent destroyer inside
You cannot be seen but I feel your sharp knife
When you took our children you also took our lives
They say we’ll pick up the pieces in time, in time
I hope it’s before I completely lose my mind
I once was told to believe and you shall see
I tried that devoutly but have been left for blind
The pain I feel could bring kings and queens to their knees
Every minute, every hour, every day, it reminds
The suffering will bring no closure, no resolution
The rest of our lives looking up from the bottom of this well
I know those who lose their children go straight to heaven
As we have done our penance, this brutal time in hell
The torture will continue, the questions, why, why, why?
What could I have done to stop it, I cry, I cry
Maybe there’s something more as I felt your pain that day
Same time, unusual it was displayed that way
My heart races for no reason but I must overcome and win
I will continue, I will miss you, forever I will love you
My soul shakes and shakes it just cannot be true
I pray one day I can smile again
