A child dies and no one cries...
Is it they can not see,
the child gone, the future that can not be
 
How dare the pray it was not them
The prayers for them selves are what they send.

 
No words muttered for the soul that left
The child's mother is all who wept.
The day moves on...
Echoes of cries are heard in the night,
When the light turns on, no one is in sight
 
The pain in the air makes too heavy to breathe
No one who cares, is too much to conceive.
The words on the page
The key to this cage
This fit of rage
And still not a tear loss, not a tear shed
This day is what I have learned to dread
 
The child inside, the child above
Always feels, but knows nothing of love.
 
Darkness, emptiness, a silence that can be heard
To think life holds meaning is completely absurd
 
Your loss, my loss are one in the same
From one beginning are from where we came.
 
The child now cries, for it cannot bear
To believe there really is no one who cares
The child shouts...
The future of life was to continue through me
But without any souls, how can that be?
 
Hush hush the lullaby is sung
The lies and deceit have now begun
 
Salute and goodbye to all of you who feel
I am sorry to tell you nothing is real
 
The child faces the darkness only to see
That sometimes it is the only way to truly be free.
