I walk into the barren wasteland
My throat dry and tight
My eyes can no longer hide the cascading tears
For I have been maimed
My body is everywhere
A leg, an arm, a hand
But yet, I still feel whole
I don't know where I am
I see a light in the distance
It's blinding me with its rays
I walk closer
It pulls me in with each step
Whispering words I can't understand
I see the place I long to be
Home
Why can't I touch you?
Why can't you see me?
I shouldn't have left that dreary night
I shouldn't have ran away
But the pain was too great
I knew I couldn't stay
If you would have just let me tell you straight
Then maybe I could have prolonged this fate
But you didn't let me explain my troubles
You just washed your hands of me
Now my body is scattered on the street
All because you didn't want to meet
The baby that could have been
The one you could have shared your life with
But now I'm gone
Dead
Dead to you as can be
Are you sorry for what has become of me?
No, of course not
Because you never loved me
I was always second in your life
But now, I am the one moving ahead
I am the one reaching the top
And you are left behind
With the guilt of what you've put me through
I will haunt you for the rest of your life
And you will forever see the image of your wife
The one who loved you with all of her might
Dying in the cold moonlight
