You could not understand why
There was no one there that could hear you cry
You didn’t know I could feel each tear that burned you
You thought needing help was a sin
So you refused to let anyone in
While I screamed to God to show me what to do
You used to be so full of song
Then you found your music had long since gone
The silence crept upon you without warning
It left you very far from home
On a path you thought you must walk alone
With no one there to help you find the morning
For too many years late in life
After your darkness had eaten the light
And the nightmares pushed away reality
Locked away in your broken shell
Where you battled with demons from your hell
And struggled to find a way to be set free
I watched the spark fade from your eyes
Till your mask of life fell, without surprise
Still it left me with a heart cold and broken
I lost you in this life that’s true
I don’t know how to say goodbye to you
I’m sorry for all the words I left unspoken
Very beautiful and heart wrenching , Jerry.
” On a path you thought you must walk alone
With no one there to help you find the morning ”
Exquisite.
