No More Light

A tattooed little boy 

cried for help 

but his cries 

dried up 

a thousand 

tears. 

He sang his song 

and echoed our souls

even when his own 

was losing iridescence.

Do you know pain

so dire you can’t even 

feel it? 

Darkness so black 

you can’t even

see it? 

It’s a cancer 

on our light 

and the more it festers;

the less we see it. 

Because we live with it

while it kills us inside. 

There is no peace 

for a mind that is no more. 

No more suffering. 

No more pain. 

No more joy. 

No more cancer. 

No more light.

Your soul is your song

and it will live in every heart 

that you saved

and every hope that 

shines 

a light 

on a

tomorrow 

you will never have.

We can’t forgive you 

for what you’ve done

but we don't know your pain. 

We can’t forget you 

or your song

when we recall your name. 

And In the end

We swim against the rising waves

And crash against the shore

The body bends until it breaks

The early morning sings no more

So rest your head

It's time to sleep

And dream of what's in store

The body bends until it breaks

And sings again no more

'cause time has torn the flesh away

The early morning sings no more
