Hold Your Daughters Again

Nightmares haunt me, my dear friend.

One goal that night, make the pain end.

Cut yourself off from the world

And now you're so far away.


You left us all

And I can't pretend to understand,

We were here for you, and offered you a hand.

Your family cries tonight, as you watch from above

They look down upon you and see a broken soul

There's nothing left of you here.


Nightmares haunt me, my dear friend.

One goal that night, make the pain end.

Cut yourself off from the world

And now you're so far away.


Hope you held them all before you let go

Pray you loved them all before you fell

Wish you kissed them one more time

Before you went away.


Nightmares haunt me, my dear friend.

One goal that night, make the pain end.

Cut yourself off from the world

And now you're so far away.


Goodbye my friend

I hope you get to hold your daughters again.

Farewell my friend

Pray you're in a better place today.

Goodnight my friend

I hope you get to see your family again.

Goodbye my friend,

Pray you're finally free.


It's alright to cry sometimes

And I hope you get to fly.

You live on in my mind

You're soul is by my side

With you I can conquer all fears

My friend, please don't leave me.
Nightmares haunt me, my dear friend.

One goal that night, make the pain end.

Cut yourself off from the world

And now you're so far away.


Memories never fade

I can never forget this day

But I will always see your smiling face

And I hope you get to hold your daughters again.

A/N: a family friend committed suicide and i ended up writing this poem. I wasn't exactly as close with this person as the song suggests but just thinking about suicide overwhelmed me and this was my way to say good bye.
