Cotton Candy Lies
Love Is Watching Someone Die
I will never forget the beeping
It was the only thing that indicated that your heart was still beating
And that your soul would remain trapped within this temple
Until we realised our selfishness
And let you go
So you could return to your maker
Love is watching someone die
Safety Net
And as you left this realm to ascend to the next
I knew I would have to catch her as she fell to her knees in a desperate plea
I couldn't let this be her end
Her life had barely begun
Fifteen and fatherless
I couldn't lose both of you
And who else would catch her if not me?
Any Other Way
He left the room and I followed silently
I knew he needed someone to tell him that everything was okay

"You don't need to be the one who is strong right now."
But I didn't know how to be any other way
