I LOOKED UPON YOU ONE LAST TIME.
A FACEI KNEW BETTER THAN MINE
I STROKE YOUR HAIR AND KISS YOUR FACE.
YOU FEEL SO COLD AND OUT OF PLACE.

I TRY TO LEAVE BUT AM STUCK TO THE FLOOR,
AS REALITY HITS ME WITH A BLINDING ROAR.
I TRY TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF REASON IN MY HEAD,
MY HEART SCREAMS DON,T LEAVE HIM IN THIS PLACE OF DEAD.

I KNOW YOU ARE GONE AND CAN,T COME BACK.
WITHOUT YOU LIFE IS WRONG, THE FUTURE BLACK.
THE ANGUISH OF THIS RUNS SO DEEP.
I FEEL IT EVEN IN MY SLEEP.

MY HEART CANNOT FATHOM THAT YOU ARE GONE.
AS MY MIND CRIES OUT THAT THIS IS WRONG.
I AM YOUR MOTHER, YOU WERE MY SOUL,
NOW I KNOW LIFE SHALL NEVER BE WHOLE.

AS I TURN TO WALK AWAY.
MY HEART TO SHATTERED TO EVEN PRAY.
I LOOK BACK AT YOUR FACE I KNOW SO WELL,
SO THIS IS TRULY A TASTE OF HELL.
